A groundbreaking contribution to the critical literature, this
volume represents the most extensive study of the fantastic in
poetry published to date. Designed to serve both as an introduction
to and a historical overview of fantastic poetry in the
Anglo-American tradition, the authors closely analyze specific
periods and poems in order to illuminate more clearly the
relationships among fantasty, the fantastic, science fiction, and
poetry. The scope of the study is unusually broad and encompasses
material from Spenser through the work of a wide range of
contemporary American and British poets. Although the contributors
focus primarily on English-language authors, their essays provide
theoretical and practical criticism relevant to the study of the
fantastic in poetry in any language. Among the innovative
approaches developed are a feminist-fantastic revisionary reading
of Keat's Lamia and a conceptualization of the role of fantasy in
the writing of holocaust poetry. In addition, the contributors
analyze such works as C.S. Lewis's Dymer, Ed Dorn's Slinger,
Victorian women's fantasies, the poetry of Margaret Atwood, Anne
Sexton, Ursula K. Le Guin, and many others. Taken together, these
essays should not only spark critical debate on the intersection of
fantasy and poetry but also become the essential starting point for
any new criticism of fantastic poems.
