Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Fantasy Fiction
Book SynopsisThe first fantasy-writing textbook to combine a historical genre overview with an anthology and comprehensive craft guide, this book explores the blue prints of one of the most popular forms of genre fiction. The first section will acquaint readers with the vast canon of existing fantasy fiction and outline the many sub-genres encompassed within it before examining the important relationship between fantasy and creative writing, the academy and publishing. A craft guide follows which equips students with the key concepts of storytelling as they are impacted by writing through a fantastical lens. These include: - Character and dialogue - Point of view - Plot and structure - Worldbuilding settings, ideologies and cultures - Style and revision The third section guides students through the spectrum of styles as they are classified in fantasy fiction from Epic and high fantasy, through Lovecraftian and Weird fiction, to magical realism and hybrid faTrade ReviewA thorough take on the Fantasy genre by someone who clearly loves the genre, and a welcome addition to an academic field that deserves more scholarship. * Nicole Peeler, Director of the Writing Popular Fiction Program, Seton Hill University, USA *Jennifer Pullen’s Fantasy Fiction: A Writer’s Guide and Anthology is the book students and teachers of not only Fantasy fiction but also fiction writ large have been waiting for.
