Styles of Creation: Aesthetic Technique and the Creation of Fictional Worlds

George Edgar Slusser

3/5 ( ratings)

The impetus behind this collection of essays is the tension between science fiction and fantasy writing's aesthetic emphasis on stylistics and the structural or systemic bias of prevailing literary theory. From a variety of perspectives, the contributors show how a new, or expanded, set of methods and models can enrich critical exchange within the genre and between it and other types of fiction.
