A review by melissa89
A Short History of Fantasy by Farah Mendlesohn, Edward James

3.0

This does an okay job of giving a very general overview of the publication history of the genre. However, it reads a bit like a list of published works with attached summaries. There isn't as much analysis of why certain trends and changes emerged. As such, it was a very dry read that ended up feeling overlong. 2.5 stars.
