Visions of enchantment

Sinopse

"Visions of Enchantment is a collection of introductory essays on magic in Western literature. It offers interpretations of individual texts, both ancient and modern; and it examines the extent to which all such texts may be thought to belong to an extended family of the imagination. Each chapter addresses the sorts of questions that arise from a reading of particular tales, poems, plays, and novels."--BOOK JACKET.
