ENGL 263 Four Fantasists

An exploration of the literary fantasy focusing on works by four of the central figures in the history of the genre: William Morris, H. G. Wells, E. R. Eddison, and J. R. R. Tolkien. More fundamentally, this course examines the literary fantasy as a response to some of the issues (industrialization, imperialism, technology, warfare, pollution, alienation, exploitation) that have tended to dominate modern life and culture.
