Book Description:
|
The book views fantasy fiction rooted in J. R. R. Tolkien's concept of Faёrie in terms of its psychotherapeutic properties, akin to Victor Frankl's logotherapy. Therapy through Faёrie in the works of the Inklings and of U.K. Le Guin seems to rest on the genre's embedment in logos, 'moral imagination' and cathartic Eucatastrophe.
