Omslag till Taylor Audrey Isabel Taylor: Patricia A. McKillip and the Art of Fantasy World-Building (ePUB)

From wondrous fairy-lands to nightmarish hellscapes, the elements that make fantasy worlds come alive also invite their exploration. This first book-length study of critically acclaimed novelist Patricia A. Mc Killip’s lyrical other-worlds analyzes her characters, environments and legends and their interplay with genre expectations. The author gives long overdue critical attention to Mc Killip’s work and demonstrates how a broader understanding of world-building enables a deeper appreciation of her fantasies.
