Bangsian fantasy
Bangsian fantasy is a fantasy genre which concerns the use of famous literary or historical individuals and their interactions in the afterlife. It is named for John Kendrick Bangs who often wrote it.〔FantasticFiction > Authors B > John Kendrick Bangs. 〕
==Definition==
According to E. F. Bleiler, in his 1983 ''Guide to Supernatural Fiction'', "Bangs' most noteworthy achievement was a contribution to literary typology: the so-called Bangsian story, in which important literary and historical personalities serve humorously as characters in a slender plot line. Bangs did not invent this subgenre, but his work gave it publicity and literary status".
This definition does not take into account that some of Bangs' stories took place in the afterlife. Jess Nevins' 2003 definition in ''Heroes & Monsters: The Unofficial Companion to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen'' says it is "a fantasy of the afterlife in which the ghosts of various famous men and women come together and have various, usually genial, adventures", which closely agrees with Rama Kundu's 2008 definition.
ARSDnet suggests it is a fantasy "which focuses primarily on the exploration of the afterlife and possibly where various ancient and influential figures ended up in the scheme of things."〔(ARSDnet Definition of "Bangsian Fantasy" )〕
