About the Book

Now in its fourth printing, this standard critical anthology dealing with the big three among fantasy writers has been brought up to date through the addition of an Afterword discussing the book Tolkien considered his greatest work, the posthumously published The Sil­marillion. Shadows of Imagination consists of essays by thirteen scholars who treat seriously the fantasies of C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams have made the writing of fantasy a legitimate art. These writers, according to Mark Hillegas, editor of and contributor to this collection, have revived the ancient arts of epic and romance, have returned to the tradition created by the Odyssey, the Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost, and Faust. Hillegas points out that although they often are compared with science-fiction writers, Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams do not write about science, never glorify the machine; instead, they fill a void, satisfy a human longing for a " myth to bring meaning again to the universe and human existence."

About the Author :
Mark R. Hillegas is Professor of En­glish at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.

Review :
“ Hillegas has produced a balanced vol­ume that must be regarded as the most important collection in recent years be­cause it does not limit itself to any one of the writers.” — Extrapolation “ This is a standard book on the three fantasists whose works are noted as ap­pealing to ‘ literary intellectuals.’ ” — Reprint Bulletin “ Essays by several scholars of literature, a Marxist biologist, and an expert in psy­chological analysis provide readers and students of literary fantasy with a many-faceted critical-analytical view of the motivations, goals, forms, and effective­ness or limitations of the fantasy writing of Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams.” — Booklist
