• The Problem with Creation: Narrating the Break with God -- Doubting Magic: Christian Fantasy During the Crisis -- "Powers of their own": Evil and Compromise in Late-Victorian Urban Fantasies -- Supernatural Longing: The Beginnings of Modern Fantasy. 

• Summary: "The novel, a literary form developed as a vehicle for realism, when infused with unreal elements offered a space to ponder questions about the supernatural, the difference between belief and knowledge, and humanity. The author explores how questions of meaning, identity and faith are fundamental to the speculative fiction of today's novels, films, television shows and comics"--.
