Couverture du William Gray: Fantasy, Art and Life (PDF)

In part a sequel to his earlier Death and Fantasy, William Gray’s Fantasy, Art and Life: Essays on George Mac Donald, Robert Louis Stevenson and Other Fantasy Writers examines the ways in which "Life" in its various senses is affirmed, explored and enhanced through the work of the creative imagination, especially in fantasy literature. The discussion includes a range of fantasy writers, but focuses chiefly on two writers of the Victorian period, George Mac Donald and Robert Louis Stevenson, whose Scottish (and particularly Calvinist) backgrounds deeply affected their engagement with what Mac Donald called "The Fantastic Imagination."
