Fantasy is a creation of the Enlightenment and the recognition that
excitement and wonder can be found in imagining impossible things.
From the ghost stories of the Gothic to the zombies and vampires of
twenty-first-century popular literature, from Mrs Radcliffe to Ms
Rowling, the fantastic has been popular with readers. Since Tolkien
and his many imitators, however, it has become a major publishing
phenomenon. In this volume, critics and authors of fantasy look at
the history of fantasy since the Enlightenment, introduce readers
to some of the different codes for the reading and understanding of
fantasy and examine some of the many varieties and subgenres of
fantasy; from magical realism at the more literary end of the
genre, to paranormal romance at the more popular end. The book is
edited by the same pair who edited The Cambridge Companion to
Science Fiction (winner of a Hugo Award in 2005).
