本の要約

This book consists of two parallel parts, related to each other not only by the alliteration with F and the mystical number 7, but also by the natural aptitude of Woman for Fantasy. To begin with Fantasy, one may distinguish seven ages in the historical development of that genre of literature known as "fantasy", which has come to a climax in the form of children's literature in England. Similarly, one may distinguish another series of seven ages concerning the place of Woman in world history and literature, considering it is only in the last two centuries that women have come into their own both in history and in literature.

著者のプロフィール

Peter Milward was born in London on October 12, 1925, and educated at Wimbledon College (a Jesuit high school). He entered the Society of Jesus in 1943, and after various studies he went on to specialize in the Classics and English at Oxford University. He came to Japan in 1954 and after further studies was ordained priest in 1960. From 1962 onwards he has taught English literature at Sophia University in Tokyo. In addition to founding the Renaissance Institute, the Hopkins Society of Japan and the Chesterton Society of Japan, he has published some 400 books, mostly as textbooks for Japanese students, many of them translated into Japanese, but now most of them out of print. Several of his books, especially those on the drama of Shakespeare and the poetry of Hopkins, have been published in England and America. Even in retirement he is still teaching and writing, as he enters his 88th year (or beiju).
