Description:
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 more clearly illuminate the relationships among fantasy, the fantastic, science fiction, and poetry. The broad scope of this study encompasses material from Spenser through the work of a wide range of contemporary American and British poets. The essays provide theoretical and practical criticism relevant to the study of the fantastic in poetry in any language.
