Phantasmion

Autor Sara Coleridge Ilustrat de Monica Veraguth Introducere de Paul-Thomas Ferguson
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Sara Coleridge (1802-1852) published her longest original work Phantasmion, A Fairy Tale in 1837, the same year her family moved to London. Essentially a fantasy novel, Phantasmion was a product of both her education and her illness. The chivalry of the Knight, Bayard, shows through in the (mostly) kind-hearted acts of King Phantasmion. The fantastical quality of the story is reminiscent of Gawain and the Green Knight and similar Arthurian legends. Phantasmion has since faded from memory, to the detriment of the reading public. Today, we may look back upon Coleridge's work as one of the first modern fantasy novels, set in an unknown world where contending magical beings alternately aid and thwart the characters' quests for love and power.

Notă biografică

Sara Coleridge (1802¿1852) was a British writer, editor and translator born in Keswick, Cumberland, England. She was the only daughter of English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge and his wife, Sara Fricker. As a child, she was greatly influenced by her uncle whose vast library exposed her to the Greek and Latin classics. As an adult, she embarked on a literary career starting with translations such as Account of the Abipones in 1822. This was followed by lighter fare inspired by her growing family. Coleridge notably wrote Pretty Lessons in Verse for Good Children and Phantasmion: A Fairy Tale.
