Beschreibung

¿This book assesses the work of one of the foundational figures of American fantasy, Peter S. Beagle. Through its focused analysis of The Last Unicorn, this study contextualises Beagle¿s work in relation to the popularity of the fantasy genre, following its growing success in the aftermath of Tolkien¿s The Lord of the Rings. In addition, through reference to the film adaptation of The Last Unicorn and also Beagle¿s other works, this study highlights the author¿s longevity and the influence that his metafictional and comedic work has had on contemporary fantasy.
