  • Jack Zipes, When Dreams Came True: Classical Fairy Tales And
    Jack Zipes, When Dreams Came True Classical Fairy Tales and Their Tradition (2nd ed., New York, Routledge, 2007) Introduction—“Spells of Enchantment: An Overview of the History of Fairy Tales” adopts the usual Zipes position—fairy tales are strongly wish-fulfillment orientated, and there is much talk of humanity’s unquenchable desire to dream. “Even though numerous critics and psychologists such as C. G. Jung and Bruno Bettelheim have mystified and misinterpreted the fairy tale because of their own spiritual quest for universal archetypes or need to save the world through therapy, the oral and literary forms of the fairy tale have resisted the imposition of theory and manifested their enduring power by articulating relevant cultural information necessary for the formation of civilization and adaption to the environment…They emanate from specific struggles to humanize bestial and barbaric forces that have terrorized our minds and communities in concrete ways, threatening to destroy free will and human compassion. The fairy tale sets out, using various forms and information, to conquer this concrete terror through metaphors that are accessible to readers and listeners and provide hope that social and political conditions can be changed.’ pp.1-2 [For a writer rather quick to pooh-pooh other people’s theories, this seems quite a claim…] What the fairy tale is, is almost impossible of definition. Zipes talks about Vladimir Propp, and summarises him interestingly on pp.3-4, but in a way which detracts from what Propp actually said, I think, by systematizing it and reducing the element of narrator-choice which was central to Propp’s approach.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 414 606 CS 216 137 AUTHOR Power, Brenda Miller, Ed.; Wilhelm, Jeffrey D., Ed.; Chandler, Kelly, Ed. TITLE Reading Stephen King: Issues of Censorship, Student Choice, and Popular Literature. INSTITUTION National Council of Teachers of English, Urbana, IL.

DESCRIPTORS *Censorship; Critical Thinking; *Fiction; Literature Appreciation; *Popular Culture; Public Schools; Reader Response; *Reading Material Selection; Reading Programs; Recreational Reading; Secondary Education; *Student Participation IDENTIFIERS *Contemporary Literature; Horror Fiction; *King (Stephen); Literary Canon; Response to Literature; Trade Books ABSTRACT This collection of essays grew out of the "Reading Stephen King Conference" held at the University of Mainin 1996. Stephen King's books have become a lightning rod for the tensions around issues of including "mass market" popular literature in middle and 1.i.gh school English classes and of who chooses what students read. King's fi'tion is among the most popular of "pop" literature, and among the most controversial. These essays spotlight the ways in which King's work intersects with the themes of the literary canon and its construction and maintenance, censorship in public schools, and the need for adolescent readers to be able to choose books in school reading programs. The essays and their authors are: (1) "Reading Stephen King: An Ethnography of an Event" (Brenda Miller Power); (2) "I Want to Be Typhoid Stevie" (Stephen King); (3) "King and Controversy in Classrooms: A Conversation between Teachers and Students" (Kelly Chandler and others); (4) "Of Cornflakes, Hot Dogs, Cabbages, and King" (Jeffrey D.

It has been accepted for inclusion in English Dissertations by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. TEACHING SPECULATIVE FICTION IN COLLEGE: A PEDAGOGY FOR MAKING ENGLISH STUDIES RELEVANT by JAMES HAMMOND SHIMKUS Under the Direction of Dr. Elizabeth Burmester ABSTRACT Speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) has steadily gained popularity both in culture and as a subject for study in college. While many helpful resources on teaching a particular genre or teaching particular texts within a genre exist, college teachers who have not previously taught science fiction, fantasy, or horror will benefit from a broader pedagogical overview of speculative fiction, and that is what this resource provides. Teachers who have previously taught speculative fiction may also benefit from the selection of alternative texts presented here. This resource includes an argument for the consideration of more speculative fiction in college English classes, whether in composition, literature, or creative writing, as well as overviews of the main theoretical discussions and definitions of each genre.

  • VI Conclusion
    Chapter - VI Conclusion Chapter VI Conclusion Crowley's earliest books—The Deep, Beasts, and Engine Summer (collected as Three Novels)-visit imaginary planets and the far future. In them he comes across as an ambitious author who would merely overheard rumours about science fiction, then decided to put theory into practice. These stories, clever and precious, read like gauzy pencil sketches for his immensely more densely painted large canvases. It seems to be Crowley has used Heroic fantasy in his two novels ‘THE DEEP ’ and ‘ENGINE SUMMER ’ while science fantasy in ‘BEASTS’. ‘The Deep’ and ‘Engine summer’ are based on the heroic characters that work in different way for society. ‘The Deep’ is about the journey of the Visitor from the Sky to the Deep. Visitor, who is a person with fantasy characters, lives with Reds-one of the societies from the plot of ‘The Deep’. On the other hand ‘Engine Summer’ is about a boy namely Rush that speaks who first goes in search of his love-Onee A Day, but finally wanted to become a saint. During his journey he becomes fond of truthful speaking and hence is a hero of society. However, ‘Beasts' is about the genetically engineered animals lion-headed man Painter and fox-headed man Reynard who are trying to survive against hunting and elimination measures of Political forces. The landscape of The Deep is an interesting one. Two societies Reds and Blacks are fighting for the crown while the Just are the criminals and Grays are wise men with justice. The novel shows some sort of war happening between Reds and Black where the hero of the Novel-Visitor tries to solve the problem of crown with the help of Grays.

He also notices strange goings on in the area that changes the look of the local people. Basil Copper Contributor ,. Keirnan has three stories in this anthology, so I decided to review the one that stood out the most to me at the time. The shape of stone carvings of fish men and strange creatures almost frightens him, and a crown that would be something the Dean would want to see. The standard of the stories were generally good but without any truly outstanding contributions. More filters. Pretty weak. Simon Kurt Unsworth dramatises this with a television crew reporting and a cameraman finding unexpected things in the water. Innsmouth Bane, by John Glasby, has Jedediah Allen whose family had settled in Innsmouth back in and prospered until the depression. Stephen Jones is an eighteen-time winner of the British Fantasy Award. Lists with This Book. Book of the Year see all. Details if other :. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Average rating 3. The main reason I am giving this anthology three stars is because overall not a lot of unique things were done with the Innsmouth theme, something the previous anthology seemed to have done better if my memory is correct. Hugh B. Review by Sandra Scholes. The hard-boiled detective story is often teamed up with horror themes nowadays, usually to good effect.
