Stories about Stories: Fantasy and the Remaking of Myth
Attebery, Brian (Professor of English, Professor of English, Idaho State University)
The first comprehensive study of fantasy's uses of myth, this book offers insights into the genre's popularity and cultural importance. Combining history, folklore, and narrative theory, Attebery's study explores familiar and forgotten fantasies and shows how the genre is also an arena for negotiating new relationships with traditional tales.
