J.R.R. Tolkien's essay "On Fairy-Stories" lays out three essential functions that all good fairy stories should fulfil: recovery, escape, and consolation. To carry out these functions, the fairy story needs to create a believable Secondary World that is separate from the Primary World in which we live. In fact, Tolkien does this on two levels: the Secondary World of Middle-earth, and the inner Secondary World of the Elves. 2014-12-30T19:41:17Z 2014-12-30T19:41:17Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10589 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
