In the latest @fananimresearch Footnote, we (well, @freudisfunny) discusses the categorisation of fantasy and the value of Farah Mendlesohn’s “tour around the skeletons and exoskeletons of the genre” to distinguish intrusive, immersive, portal quest, and liminal fantasy stories!

The @fananimresearch Footnotes continue with this examination of the many ‘rhetorics’ of fantasy that account for the mechanics by which fantasy writers can and do achieve their fantastical effects, drawn from the influential work of Farah Mendlesohn!
