Reviews
"""This is not a survey of the field, but something more valuable to students, as there is little available in England on these writers set in the context of fantasy."" --Jessica Yates, British Book News ""Manlove remains the first critic of fantasy to whom one should turn; in this volume he establishes himself as the best first source for comment on such writers as Charles Williams and E. Nesbit. What is best about Manlove is that, especially for a pioneering critic, he is tough and disciplined. . . . Manlove's biting intelligence is manifest throughout his book."" --Curtis C. Smith, Modern Fiction Studies ""[Manlove's] comments always stimulate rejoinder, never boredom. . . . Manlove's work certainly advances our understanding of fantasy and supplies us with a new category of terms to use in describing it."" --Walter E. Meyers, Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Review"
