  Challenging literary histories that locate the emergence of fantastic literature in the Romantic period, this title shows that tales of wonder and imagination were extremely popular throughout the eighteenth century. It demonstrates that a century of debate and experimentation preceded the Romantic's interest in the creative imagination.
