{"product_id":"9780809313747","title":"Intersections: Fantasy and Science Fiction","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese 17 essays from the seventh annual J. Lloyd Eaton Conference examine the relationship between fantasy and science fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey propose that fantasy and science fiction are not isolated commercial literary forms, but instead are literary forms worthy of the recognition reserved for traditional literature. Discussion of genre identification ranges from the standard forms of literary criticism embodied in Aristotle’s \u003ci\u003emimesis \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003epoesis \u003c\/i\u003eto innovative and possibly controversial points of view such as a theory of humor, a philosophy of time, and a detailed analysis of Dr. Seuss’s \u003ci\u003eCat in the Hat.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays provide not only a detailed study of literary elements but also the historical treatment of the material, its commercial use, and its relationship to similar literary forms such as the gothic tale and horror fiction. While few of the essayists agree with one another, they all contribute creative insights to the debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Illinois University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47026509447408,"sku":"9780809313747","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780809313747_p0.gif?v=1763741357","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780809313747","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
