Finalist for the 2022 Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Myth and
Fantasy Studies From the time of Charles Dickens, the imaginative
power of the city of London has frequently inspired writers to
their most creative flights of fantasy. Charting a new history of
London fantasy writing from the Victorian era to the 21st century,
Fairy Tales of London explores a powerful tradition of urban
fantasy distinct from the rural tales of writers such as J.R.R.
Tolkien. Hadas Elber-Aviram traces this urban tradition from
Dickens, through the scientific romances of H.G. Wells, the
anti-fantasies of George Orwell and Mervyn Peake to contemporary
science fiction and fantasy writers such as Michael Moorcock, Neil
Gaiman and China Mieville.
