Abstract/Summary

Founded on different researches, Gilda Cordero-Fernando is acknowledged as a writer on the topic of middle-class. In one of Jose Y. Dalisay's introductions of his work, he asserts that Gilda Cordero-Fernando is a fantasy writer. In my study, I bring to the readers the foremost principle of Eric Rabkin and one of Rosemary Jackson's principles concerning the theory of Fantasy Realism. As I demonstrate illustrations from Gilda Cordero-Fernando's works such as Ningning , Hunger , The Dust Monster and The Level of Each Day's Need , using the theory of Eric Rabkin and Rosemary Jackson, I therefore publicize that Gilda Cordero-Fernando is a fantasy writer.
