The Discovery of English Magic: In the first class, we discuss the intricacy of Susanna Clarke's subcreation, examining how she creates the "impression of depth" through her fidelity to the style and tone of 19th century British literature and through the detailed presentation of a convincing alternative history. Special attention is paid to the book's presentation of magic, the treatment of Færie, and the introduction of the staid and miserly Mr. Norrell.
