Více o knize

Exploring the historical perception of the fantasy genre, this thesis examines how it has long been dismissed as inferior literature due to its detachment from reality. It highlights the challenges faced by fantasy writers before the mid-twentieth century, who often had to mask their imaginative tales as travel narratives or dream accounts to gain acceptance. The work critiques the biases against fantasy and argues for its significance in literary discourse, shedding light on its evolution and the changing attitudes towards fantastical storytelling.
