Product Description

A history of the fantasy form, this work traces the genre from the earliest years with The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Odyssey through to the origins of modern fantasy in the 20th century with such acclaimed writers as Terry Pratchett and J. K. Rowling. An exploration of the great variety of fiction published under the heading “fantasy,” this engaging study seeks to explain its continuing and ever growing popularity.

This review is from: A Short History of Fantasy (Paperback)

I'm teaching a high school fantasy literature course this fall and want to be able to offer students some historical context for our readings. A Short History of Fantasy is a perfect mix of history, authors, and texts. My students will benefit tremendously. The only down side is that I found another book I have to read on each page! If only there was more time.
