This work presents the genre of mythopoeic fantasy from a holistic
perspective, arguing that this subgenre of fantasy literature is
largely misunderstood as a result of decades of incomplete and
reductionist literary studies. The author asserts that mythopoeic
fantasy is not only the most complete literary expression of a
worldview based on the existence of supernatural or spiritual
powers but that the genre is in a unique position to transform
social consciousness with a renewed emphasis on anticipating the
future. The author lays out theoretical foundations for his
argument in the first four chapters and then demonstrates how the
works of fantasy authors Ursula K. LeGuin, Lloyd Alexander,
Madeleine L'Engle, and Orson Scott Card exemplify his argument in
the remaining four chapters.
