Fantasy at Oxford
Oxford - the city and the University - has been a centre for fantasy writers. From Lewis Carroll to Philip Pullman it has seen numerous writers live here, teach here, or study here. In this series of podcasts we celebrate some of the major writers and their texts (note there is also a full collection on Tolkien) and also touch on subjects such as the 'Oxford School of Fantasy'. Importantly we also include podcasts on the many collections in Oxford's libraries highlighting some of the key material related to fantasy literature.
To begin with read this introductory essay on the topic.
