The portrayal of nature in the genre of fantasy fiction, from the
Middle Ages to more modern times, has been conditioned by the
diverging social, political and historical contexts. This book
seeks to disclose how the natural world has been depicted within
this genre during different periods, drawing a comparison between
the British tradition of fantasy literature and Ursula K. Le Guin's
Earthsea cycle. Le Guin adheres to the general traits of the genre
up to a point, but as a woman of the 20th century living in the
American West, her works also deviate from the received tradition
in many significant ways.
