Reviews
The Historical Dictionary of Fantasy Literature is a thorough and scholarly compendium on the subject and is an essential companion work for those libraries with Clute's The Encyclopedia of Fantasy . This is a must purchase for academic libraries supporting a curriculum of fantasy literature. It would also be a useful work for public libraries needing information on fantasy literature, particularly fantasy authors., ...a comprehensive, thought-provoking, and important addition to the bookshelves of any scholar of fantasy and the fantastic, taking its rightful place alongside those valuable reference works on which it builds and to which it responds., It is impossible to praise this work too highly....Not only is this book a rich work of reference, it is also an original contribution to fantasy studies. Strongly recommended., Stableford (University College, Winchester, UK) defines fantasy literature broadly, extending the history of the genre back to Homer; a useful chronology documents significant works throughout that history. As in Stableford's science fiction dictionary, the introduction offers a substantial critical exploration of the ideas shaping fantasy literature and its reception over time. The dictionary entries continue the effort to establish a useful vocabulary and taxonomy for this literature. Over 700 entries on authors interconnect with 200 entries on categories, themes, stock characters, and the fantasy of particular cultures, placing each particular in a broader context. This approach has much to offer students and scholars, but this book does not serve particularly well as a reader's guide; the emphasis is on classification rather than on conveying the distinct character of authors and works....Stableford provides an additional guide to further study in an extensive bibliography of critical works. Highly recommended. Academic collections serving lower-level undergraduates through faculty/researchers., This alphabetically arranged reference for scholars and general readers covers the fantasy genre from its roots in the earliest literature to the present day. Included are more than 700 entries on contemporary and historical authors, as well as over 200 more on fantasy subgenres, technical terms from fantasy criticism, and some key themes and story elements (dragons, wish-fulfillment, Knights Templar, etc.). Novelist Stableford (creative writing, University College, Winchester, England) provides an overview of the genre's history and reception in the introduction.

Synopsis
The chronology tracks the evolution of fantasy from the origins of literature to the 21st century. The introduction explains the nature of the impulses creating and shaping fantasy literature, the problems of its definition and the reasons for its changing historical fortunes. The dictionary includes cross-referenced entries on more than 700 authors, ranging across the entire historical spectrum, while more than 200 other entries describe the fantasy subgenres, key images in fantasy literature, technical terms used in fantasy criticism, and the intimately convoluted relationship between literary fantasies, scholarly fantasies, and lifestyle fantasies. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography that ranges from general textbooks and specialized accounts of the history and scholarship of fantasy literature, through bibliographies and accounts of the fantasy literature of different nations, to individual author studies and useful websites., Once upon a time all literature was fantasy, set in a mythical past when magic existed, animals talked, and the gods took an active hand in earthly affairs. As the mythical past was displaced in Western estimation by the historical past and novelists became increasingly preoccupied with the present, fantasy was temporarily marginalized until the late 20th century, when it enjoyed a spectacular resurgence in every stratum of the literary marketplace. Stableford provides an invaluable guide to this sequence of events and to the current state of the field.
