From a discussion of the problem of communicating with non-human
beings and a review of popular fantastic films to an examination of
stage portrayals of Dr. Frankenstein's monster, the essays included
reflect and reinfoce the international appeal of the fantastic.
Studies on J.R.R. Tolkien, Lewis Caroll, Carlos Fuentes, Edgar
Allen Poe, Jorges Luis Borges, and others show how writers,
artists, and directors use the impossible as a way of presenting
familiar problems and themes--such as the relation of the past to
the future or our attitudes towards death--in a new light. Several
essays suggest new or newly refined ways of approaching the
fantastic in literature from a critical standpoint, while others
focus on the visual and kinetic arts. Taken together, the essays
accurately mirror the flux and vitality of the current study of the
fantastic in the arts.
