Landscapes With Angels: Fantasy, Children’s Literature, and the Spiritual Role of the Imagination Oxford August 12-15, 2004

A conference of the GK Chesterton Institute for Faith & Culture
and Seton Hall University, was held in Oxford,  August 12-15, 2004.
"At the beginning of the new millennium, the future of Christian culture passes by way of the imagination. Fantasy literature (and by extension film) has become a vital cultural force shaping an uncertain future. The immense popularity of The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and His Dark Materials speaks for itself. For better or worse, without their being aware of it, the rising generation is receiving its metaphysical and moral formation through the imaginative exploration of ‘other worlds’.

"This international conference, held in the beautiful surroundings of Oxford’s largest college, will analyze and discuss the various trends in fantasy and children’s literature, which increasingly attracts an adult audience as well, hungry for the type of questions that most modern literary forms have ceased to address. We set our discussion against the history of the genre, which is so deeply rooted in British culture, and so entwined with the history of Oxford in particular."
