Many works of fantasy literature feature a considerable number of
embedded poems, some written by the authors themselves, some
borrowed and transformed from other authors. Exploring the
mechanisms of this mix and the interaction between individual poems
and the overall narrative, this monograph analyses the various
forms and functions of embedded poems in major works of fantasy
literature. The choice of authors and texts shed light on the
development of fantasy as a genre that frequently mixes prose and
verse and thus continues the long tradition of prosimetric
practices after the Romantic period. Not only does the analysis of
the embedded poems allow for a new understanding of the individual
works. It also promises insights into shared literary-historical
roots, cross-influences between the authors and the role of the mix
of poetry and prose for the imaginative and subversive potential of
fantasy literature in general. Providing comprehensive case studies
of the forms and functions of embedded poems in fantasy literature,
this volume illuminates the emergence of modern fantasy and its
impact on contemporary fantasy.
