The essays in this volume cover the classical period to the twentieth century, and each study focuses on how fantasy acts as a strategy for an individual to contain or exploit specific historical and cultural moments. Multiple genres of fantasy are explored, ranging from ghost stories to feminist utopias and new research is presented which explores areas such as twentieth-century architecture and 'ideal homes'.
