Thank you Nard but I still can't contact her, the mesage keeps coming back! And to phone from Portugal it is very difficult! Thank you, if there is another contact to help me please tell me.
thank you

Portugal??? Wow...

Tell me what 'exactly' you want to know, I'll Fax from here in Chicago the questions.....

I'm doing a dissertation on Bradbury, about Lonfg After Midnight, and I read it as fantasy not as sf, but I don't have access to much information on fantasy. And Anita wrote an article on R and fantasy, what i want tio know is which stories she analises and why does she read B as a fantasy writer.I don't know if I got myself understood, I'm very tired and sometimes my English is not clear.

I don't know if this will help, but here are two books that, if available to you, could be useful in defining fantasy (the fantastic, in some circles):

"Fantasy: The Literature of Subversion". by Rosemary Jackson. Methuen Press, London & New York. 1981.

"The Fantastic: A Structural Approach to a Literary Genre". by Tzetan Todorov (Trans by Richard Howard). Cornell University Press. Cornell. 1973.

Also, I would definitely reference stories from E.T.A. Hoffmann, who was an amazing fantasy writer. Two excellent stories are: "The Golden Flower Pot" and "The Mines of Falun". (I think Dandelion may be more familiar with Hoffman than I am. If possible, maybe she could reference some other stories she likes.) The edition I'm going to cite has a detailed introduction that may be useful:

"The Best Tales of E.T.A. Hoffman". Ed. and Introduction by E.F. Bleiler. Dover Publications, NY. 1967.

I would also look carefully at the Introductions by Nathaniel Hawthorne. He discusses the idea that he writes a setting that creates a mood between day and night. The "twilight" setting means he can write fiction without the requirement of strict verrisimilitude (sp?). He calls his stories tales and romances, so he can step outside the literalist realm of literature or history or biography. In a sense, he discusses why he writes in this "zone" -- which is to allow him to write to morals and universals.

Hope some of this helps. Other than Hawthorne, the books are probably not available outside a university library (although ETA Hoffman is sometimes available).

Good luck.

Thank you, I wil try to follow your advice, but where I live my library doesn' have those books, and to by them takes a lot of time and money, I pay more for delivery expenses than for the books and they take minimum 3 weeks to arrive, it's difficult. Thank you.
