Description

Made from the stuff of dreams and nightmares, 鈥榯he fantastic鈥� in literature poses questions about the nature of reality in a changing world. As science transformed understanding of life in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, literature placed fears and hopes for the future alongside the oldest beliefs and superstitions, creating a new genre of the fantastic, a modern world of monsters and phantoms where nothing is quite what it seems. This module explores the development of the supernatural and fantastic in European literature from fairytales to science fiction, and examines contemporary resonances, including the enduring appeal of a Hollywood monster and a cult internet meme.
