In The Fairy Way of Writing, Kevin Pask seeks to explain the origins and popularity
of enchantment in Shakespeare's plays. Writers John Dryden and Joseph Addison originated
the phrase "fairy way of writing" to define the concept of an English creative imagination
founded on a synthesis of high literary culture and the popular culture of tales and
superstitions. Beginning with Chaucer, Johnson, Dryden, and Milton, Pask argues that
the fairy way of writing not only sets the stage for the fairy tale, the Gothic novel,
and children's literature but also informs genres beyond the English canon, including
painting, twentieth-century fantasy fiction, and French fairy tales. -- Publisher
