| Popis: |
This collective monograph includes contributions by twenty authors reflecting on an expression of the fantastic in literature and drama. Five thematic sections (On the Utopian Quality in Literature, Sharing the Story, World and Language, To the Roots of Not Only the Czech Fantastic, Creativity and Fantastic Quality – Stories Not Only for Children, Central-European Postmodernism) introduce the possibility of exploring the phenomenon of the fantastic in literary theory and history, theatre studies, cognitive science, philosophy, and comparative literature. A broad definition of fantastic literature applied in the book allows focusing on both genre and non-genre forms of fantastic literature, contributing to bridging the largely artificial boundaries between them. |
