Overview
What you will study
Fantasy Literature is an exciting and ever-popular genre which imagines new worlds and alternative universes. But far from being merely an escape from everyday life, these flights of imagination allow authors and readers of fantasy to think about vital issues in the world we inhabit, and how we might address them.
From its beginnings, modern fantasy literature has been and remains closely associated with the city of Oxford and in this day school five members of the University of Oxford’s English Faculty will guide you through some of its highlights.
The Fantasy Literature course offered by University of Oxford will also look at fantasy literature in its wider political and global contexts, including its significance to feminism, and the importance of the blockbuster Game of Thrones. There will be something for everyone, and dragons aplenty.
