A compendium of fairies and fairy lore through the centuries, told through a magical year in search of the fae from the author of the remarkable (Literary Review) Woman's Lore.
Fairy stories and fae lore are ancientyet fairy stories continue to transform and enthrall our imaginations generation after generation. From Tolkien's elves to Sarah J. Maas's high fae, storytellers have reinterpreted the same set of traditions and texts over and over again.
Perilous Enchantment presents a definitive new cultural history of the fairy, from ancient times to now, across Europe and North America. By visiting a different fairy site each monthincluding fairy hills in Yorkshire, to a nymph's cave in Delphi, to a contemporary fairy ball in Los AngelesCambridge PhD and folkloristSarah Clegg illuminates all the facets of the elusive, capricious figure.
Clegg shows us how shifts in culture, technology, and avenues of storytelling have shaped the image of the fairy and fairylands. Within, you'll trace how hyper-localized nature spirits in the first century BC became otherworldly tricksters and temptresses, then scions of purgatory or the devil, to adorable Victorian children's book characters, and ultimately, our contemporary romantasy love interests.
For fans curious for some of the inspiration behind their favorite novels to storytellers interested in adding their own twists to this rich lore, Perilous Enchantment provides a nuanced look at fairyland, from its most extraordinary tales to its darkest corners, showing us just how much faerie has always been a mirror to our own human imaginations, fears, and desires.
