Beschreibung
Alan Garner and the work of time. is the first comprehensive critical volume dedicated to the work of a writer whose influence on British literature, across fantasy, folklore, landscape and place writing and experimental fiction, has been profound but under-analysed. Spanning over six decades, Garner's oeuvre is marked by its distinctive engagement with landscape, language, myth, and temporality. Bringing together a range of writers and scholars, this collection re-evaluates Garner's significance amid renewed interest in folk horror, ecocriticism, hauntology, and the narrative function of myth. It includes analysis of his fiction, ranging from The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. to Treacle Walker,. alongside his autobiographical and non-fiction writing, foregrounding thematic and formal innovations across his body of work. This volume interrogates Alan Garner's contribution to the literary imagination and situates him within wider critical conversations about story, memory, place, and identity. It offers analysis of a publicly loved yet critically long-neglected author, positioning Garner not merely as a major writer of fantasy, but as a key figure in twentieth- and twenty-first-century British literature.
