Modern Fantasy Literature

After three years of discussion and more outlines than I like to contemplate, Cambridge University Press have commissioned a collection of essays on Modern Fantasy Literature which will be published in paperback and aimed at both students and fans.

However, this book is not currently anticipated as an addition to the Cambridge Companion series. This may yet change.

I'm very pleased with our line up so here it is, so you can drool and anticipate. Publication date is summer 2009.
