Comments: The History of Oz is a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of one of the most enduring fantasy worlds ever created. Far beyond the familiar imagery of the yellow brick road and the Emerald City, this volume examines Oz as a coherent literary universe—one deliberately constructed, governed by rules, and sustained across fourteen novels by its creator, L. Frank Baum. Rather than treating the Oz books as isolated children’s stories, this work approaches them as a unified historical and narrative project. It traces Baum’s intellectual background, cultural influences, and artistic ambitions, situating Oz within the broader context of American popular culture at the turn of the twentieth century. From journalism and theater to children’s literature and political imagination, Baum’s world emerges as a distinctly American answer to European fairy traditions. |
