The Fantasy Literature of England
(England is known for cricket, for kings and queens, for n...)
England is known for cricket, for kings and queens, for navies and roses, and for Shakespeare - but it should be just as famous for its fantasy, the literature often closest to its heart. Chaucer, Milton, Blake, Lewis Carroll, J. R. R. Tolkien and Salman Rushdie; all have written fantasy, and most have put it at the centre of their art. In this book, the first on this enormous and diverse field, Colin Manlove shows how English fantasy developed from Beowulf to Blake, and then describes its modern growth through the forms of secondary world, metaphysical, emotive, comic, subversive and children's fantasy, in all of which England has led the world. English fantasy includes writers as different as Terry Pratchett, C. S. Lewis, Oscar Wilde and Angela Carter, yet this very diversity is part of its Englishness. Fantasy is often seen as being the same the world over, but in fact it is strongly national in character, and, as this book shows, nowhere more so than in England.

This is the first account of invented stories involving the Christian supernatural. In their development a central concern is found to be the fantasy-making human imagination itself, at first seen as a obstacle to Christian purpose, but more recently given freer rein.

( An attempt to provide students of literature with an in...)
An attempt to provide students of literature with an introduction to literary analysis this seeks to involve the student in the process of thinking about literature, showing how to start with one idea and move on to further insights. To do this, several methods - such as using close textual analysis, finding connections, making comparisons, and looking for structures, are described and variously illustrated in action. Works used to illustrate the text include those by Shakespeare, Pope, Chaucer, James, Jonson, Woolf, Fielding, Milton, Hardy, Swift and Melville.
