A concise guide to the vocabulary of magical realism
Maggie Ann Bowers’s handbook addresses the often-overlapping language used around magic, magical realism, and marvellous realism in art and literary criticism. Its central task is definitional: separating related terms while showing the conceptual distinctions that shape critical discussion. With its cross-disciplinary scope, the book offers a compact reference point for approaching works described through these labels and for understanding how they are used in both visual art and literature.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Students of art and literary criticism
- Readers seeking clear distinctions among magic, magical realism, and marvellous realism
- Artists and scholars working with magical-realist terminology
