Lord Dunsany was one of the great pioneers of modern fantasy, creating worlds of strange gods, enchanted kingdoms, and wonders beyond the borders of the known world. His influence can be seen in the works of generations of fantasy writers.
In Pathways to Elfland, acclaimed author and critic Darrell Schweitzer examines Dunsany's remarkable literary career, from his early tales of Pegāna to The King of Elfland's Daughter, his fantastic plays, novels, and later stories. Schweitzer explores the themes, imagination, and literary achievements of a writer whose work helped shape fantasy literature.
With a foreword by L. Sprague de Camp, this book is a valuable guide to the writings of Lord Dunsany.
