![]() ![]() Keep in mind that I’ve been studying ’90s and ’00s Fantasy for the last decade, where authors like Robert Jordan and George R. I’m desperately hoping as I continue my re-read that the horribly misogynist pattern that I discovered in Anthony doesn’t hold up for any other books I re-examine.Īfter re-reading the first 10 pages of Anthony’s A Spell for Chameleon (all I can stomach really), it shocked me how blatant the misogyny was. When I started my postgraduate work, though I couldn’t put a finger on why, I knew that ’70s and ’80s Fantasy didn’t appeal to me. In most of my research to date I have focused on 1990-2010 literature, with a brief study dipping into the ’60s. I’m now contemplating how many of these books I’m going to absolutely HATE now that I’m reading them as an adult by which I mean, *not* as a person who disparages children’s fiction, but as a person who can think critically and is more socially aware. ![]() After a December hiatus (tangential note: I blame Christmas for that turns out it’s not a practical idea to make a handcrafted stocking for your baby while on maternity leave), I decided to mosey into the next decade with a re-read some of my favourite Fantasy books that I haven’t touched in years. ![]()
