Taking into account content, political commentary, and literary technique, it explores the impact of Pratchett‘s work on fantasy writing and genre conventions.With chapters on gender, multiculturalism, secularism, education, and relativism, Section One focuses on different characters’ situatedness within Pratchett’s novels and what this may tell us about the direction of his social, religious and political criticism. Section Two discusses the aesthetic form that this criticism takes, and analyses the post- and meta-modern aspects of Pratchett’s writing, his use of humour, and genre adaptations and deconstructions. This is the ideal collection for any literary and cultural studies scholar, researcher or student interested in fantasy and popular culture in general, and in Terry Pratchett in particular.. | 出版日期 | Book 2018 | 关键词 | Fantasy; Philosophy; Style; Humour; Popular fiction; British and Irish Literature | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-67298-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-88408-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-67298-4Series ISSN 2753-0825 Series E-ISSN 2753-0833 | issn_series | 2753-0825 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2018 |
