EGL 266 - Fantasy in Literature and Film

Institution:

Farmingdale State College

Subject:

Description:

Fantasy in Literature and Film examines not only the oldest literary genre but one that continues to fascinate readers old and young and to inspire some of the most innovative (and technically sophisticated) films. Works of fantasy overlap other genres: myth, fairy tales, epic sagas, tales of the grotesque, juvenilia, adventure stories, and some science fiction. However, fantasy is the study of what can never actually be real, that is, what we dream about or can only imagine. Readings include traditional works of fantasy from the earliest recorded texts as well as beloved children's and young adult "classics" of this genre. Film adaptations awell as original films in this genre will also be analyzed and critiqued. Prerequisite: EGL 102 (3,0) 3 credits
