Nature and the Numinous in Mythopoeic Fantasy Literature

Christopher Straw Brawley, Sullivan, C. W., III, Donald E. Palumbo

About this book

"This book makes connections between mythopoeic fantasy--works which engage the numinous--and the critical apparatuses of ecocriticism and posthumanism. Drawing from the ideas of Rudolf Otto in The Idea of the Holy, mythopoeic fantasy is a means of subverting normative modes of perception to both encounter the numinous and to challenge the perceptions of the natural world"--
