Download or read book Nursery Realms written by Gary Westfahl and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child characters are surprisingly common in horror, fantasy, and science fiction literature and films. Children represent innocence and virtue and symbolize the classic question of fantastic literature: What is the future of the human race, and how will science and society improve or impair that future? This collection of essays explores the roles of children in the literature and film of the fantastic. The works vary in critical approach from textual analyses to psychological, historical, and gender- and ethnicity-based interpretations and draw their subject matter from contemporary and classic literary and film pieces. "The Triumph of Teen Prop: Terminator II and the End of History" is a playful discussion of teen propaganda movies and social issues. "E.T. as Fairy Tale" examines how Stephen Spielberg's combination of science fiction, fantasy, and fairy tale elements blends logic and childhood magic. Howard M. Lenhoff connects mythical creatures with biology in "A Real-World Source for the 'Little People': A Comparison of Fairies to Individuals with Williams Syndrome." The literary selection ranges from Alida Allison's study of childhood in Isaac Bashevis Singer's writings to Bud Foote's interpretation of childhood roles in the characters of selected Stephen King works. Other essays consider Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, Anne Rice's The Witching Hour, and the childhood classic Peter Pan.

Book Synopsis Speculative Modernism by : William Gillard
Download or read book Speculative Modernism written by William Gillard and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speculative modernists--that is, British and American writers of science fiction, fantasy and horror during the late 19th and early 20th centuries--successfully grappled with the same forces that would drive their better-known literary counterparts to existential despair. Building on the ideas of the 19th-century Gothic and utopian movements, these speculative writers anticipated literary Modernism and blazed alternative literary trails in science, religion, ecology and sociology. Such authors as H.G. Wells and H.P. Lovecraft gained widespread recognition--budding from them, other speculative authors published fascinating tales of individuals trapped in dystopias, of anti-society attitudes, post-apocalyptic worlds and the rapidly expanding knowledge of the limitless universe. This book documents the Gothic and utopian roots of speculative fiction and explores how these authors played a crucial role in shaping the culture of the new century with their darker, more evolved themes.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Poetry by : Scott E. Green
Download or read book Contemporary Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Poetry written by Scott E. Green and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1989-11-16 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Themes from science fiction, fantasy, and horror have been an intimate part of contemporary poetry in the United States and abroad. The publishing of poetry by those American writers who view themselves as primarily science fiction/fantasy/horror writers has been less common and generally relegated to infrequent appearances in genre publications; this has changed dramatically since the early 1970s. In Contemporary Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Poetry, Green provides evidence that there are, in fact, many opportunities for publishing such genre poetry in both commercial and small press publications. Contemporary Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Poetry includes guides to major magazines that publish this type of poetry, each with an index of poets published, a bibliography of major anthologies, and a biographical directory of poets active in the three genres. The book also includes an appendix of awards.
