This is a video in my new Speculative Fiction Studies series, which examines and analyses key aspects of classic and contemporary works in the genres that fall under the broad rubric of speculative fiction. This includes fantasy, science fiction, horror, alternate history, weird, cyberpunk, utopian, post-apocalyptic, and superhero fiction, among other genres

This video focuses on J.R.R. Tolkien's essay On Fairy Stories. It examines his discussion of theories about the origins of fairy stories, tackling what he considers to be the least important of the three questions he is focused upon.
