J. R. R. Tolkien, undisputedly a most fluent speaker of this language, was criticized in his day for indulging his juvenile whim of writing fantasy, which was then considered—as it still is in many quarters— an inferior form of literature and disdained as mere “escapism.” “Of course it is escapist,” he cried. “That is its glory! When a soldier is a prisoner of war it is his duty to escape—and take as many with him as he can.” He went on to explain, “The moneylenders, the knownothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as possible.“

Stephen R. Lawhead

“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which ‘Escape’ is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”

-J.R.R. Tolkien

“Hence the uneasiness which they arouse in those who, for whatever reason, wish to keep us wholly imprisoned in the immediate conflict. That perhaps is why people are so ready with the charge of “escape.” I never fully understood it till my friend Professor Tolkien asked me the very simple question, “What class of men would you expect to be most preoccupied with, and hostile to, the idea of escape?” and gave the obvious answer: jailers.“

-C.S. Lewis

[comedownstairsandsayhello]

“As for the charge of escapism, what does “escape” mean? Escape from real life, responsibility, order, duty, piety, is what the charge implies. But nobody, except the most criminally irresponsible or pitifully incompetent, escapes to jail. The direction of escape is toward freedom. So what is “escapism” an accusation of?”

– Ursula K. Le Guin

[sarahreesbrennan]

I love all of these. I will add that in stories I see described as ‘escapism,’ the escape is never escape into a place of vacancy or idleness, but escape into adventure, into the possibility and power of change for yourself and the whole world. People yearn for the escape of expanded opportunity. When the very word escape implies freedom, those who sneer at escapism show their loyalty lies with locked doors.

"Minuscule", my E33/Borrowers AU, is resuming ! Sorry for the wait, I was away for a 3 weeks trip but now I'll try to work on it regularly even though I have a lot of other things to deal with. Have this illustration as a thank you for waiting ! \o/

Still, chapters take time to make so don't expect a new one right away, but I will soon start working on it ! Thank you again for the love you give this AU :)
