Drawing from the ideas of Rudolf Otto in \u003ci\u003eThe Idea of the Holy\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. Beginning with S.T. Coleridge's theories of the imagination as embodied in \u003ci\u003eThe Rime of the Ancient Mariner\u003c\/i\u003e, the book moves on to explore standard mythopoeic fantasists such as George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Taking a step outside these men, particularly influenced by Christianity, the concluding chapters discuss Algernon Blackwood and Ursula Le Guin, whose works evoke the numinous without a specifically Christian worldview.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Brawley\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of religion, humanities and English at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, North Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 212\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 14, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53001381511475,"sku":"9780786494651","price":60.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/3F7fr1aMPf9780786494651.webp?v=1769414009","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/nature-and-the-numinous-in-mythopoeic-fantasy-literature-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
