This is an important study of two critically undersubscribed authors and an impressive look at a third who benefits from reconsideration in relation to them. It is not the last word on any of its subject texts, but it serves as a robust contribution to a weighty, potentially inexhaustible debate. (JosephYoung, Gramarye, Issue 19, 2021) Fantasies of Time and Death makes us hungry to return to the primary worlds it discusses. (Sarah R.A. Waters, Mythlore, Vol. 39 (2), 2021)

This is an important study of two critically undersubscribed authors and an impressive look at a third who benefits from reconsideration in relation to them. It is not the last word on any of its subject texts, but it serves as a robust contribution to a weighty, potentially inexhaustible debate. (JosephYoung, Gramarye, Issue 19, 2021) Fantasies of Time and Death makes us hungry to return to the primary worlds it discusses. (Sarah R.A. Waters, Mythlore, Vol. 39 (2), 2021) One of the greatest strengths of this study overall is Vaninskaya's extensive familiarity with the work of each author ... . The volume is particularly well suited as a reference for readers who are already well-versed in the works of one or more of these three authors. ... Overall, it is a thorough and thoughtful work which will be of value for studies of all three authors. (Holly Ordway, Journal of Inklings Studies, Vol. 10 (1), October, 2020) Vaninskaya's attentive, detailed, and well-supported claims, which remain strong through the entirety of the text, will likely be a welcome addition to the shelves of academics interested in the subjects of time and death or these authors, as well as libraries looking to expand their selection of volumes on the same.
