The Language of the Night: In Defence of Fantasy, "Fantasy and the Marvellous"

If you're into philosophy and literary criticism there's food for thought here.

"For the next little while, we’re going through Ann Swinfen’s In Defence of Fantasy (1), taking it chapter by chapter, as promised. This week, we start with the introductory chapter, “Fantasy and the Marvellous.”  I’m going to take this opener somewhat backward, because it’s the best way to introduce some concepts that may or may not be familiar; in fact, they may raise echoes of long forgotten (or in my case, repressed) introductory philosophy classes, or they may be part of your daily life. You’ll recognize that part when we get there.  Yay, theory!"
