This study explores how the 'high fantasy' tradition, from German Romantic writers to Philip Pullman, has transposed spiritual and moral values, once the prerogative of organised religion, into new myths.

Man Behind the Door

In part a sequel to his earlier Death and Fantasy, William Gray’s Fantasy, Art and Life: Essays on George MacDonald, 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 MacDonald and Robert Louis Stevenson, whose Scottish (and particularly Calvinist) backgrounds deeply affected their engagement with what MacDonald called “The Fantastic Imagination.”

Philip Sidney

With a Life of the Author and Illustrative Notes

The Miscellaneous Works of Sir Philip Sidney, Knt

More than most writers, Robert Louis Stevenson requires a Literary Life. Fascination with Stevenson's life (the 'Stevenson biography' is almost a minor genre) has tended to eclipse his literary achievement. This study focuses on Stevenson's writing practice within the different geographical, cultural and political contexts that shaped it, from Scotland to the South Seas. Following Stevenson's own views on biography, the book is not structured primarily in terms of chronology, but is more a kind of literary geography than traditional literary history.

A Literary Life

Robert Louis Stevenson

The works of C.S. Lewis appeal widely to a variety of audiences. Lewis is probably most famous for the best-selling Chronicles of Narnia, though William Nicholson's play Shadowlands will have led many readers to Lewis's own account of his tragic bereavement in A Grief Observed. Lewis enjoyed (to the chagrin of his academic colleagues) a tremendous success as a popular theologian. He was also a successful science fiction writer. And last, but by no means least, he was a brilliant and original academic in the field of English Literature. This book weaves together the very different elements in the complex phenomenon of C.S. Lewis, and relates the central concerns of Lewis's life and work to current thinking about psychoanalysis, postmodernism, and the idea of 'a new Humanism'.
