Wsparcie

This book explores the connections between history and fantasy in George RR Martin”s immensely popular book series ”A Song of Ice and Fire” and the international TV sensation HBO TV”s
Game of Thrones. Acknowledging the final season”s foregrounding of the cultural centrality of history, truth and memory in the confrontation between Bran and the Night King, the volume takes full account of the TV show”s conclusion in its multiple readings across from medieval history, its institutions and practices, as depicted in the books to the show”s own particular medievalism. The topics under discussion include the treatment of the historical phenomena of chivalry, tournaments, dreams, models of education, and the supernatural, and the different ways in which these are mediated in Martin”s books and the TV show. The collection also includes a new study of one of Martin”s key sources, Maurice Druon”s
Les Rois Maudits, in-depth explorations of major characters in their medieval contexts, and provocative reflections on the show”s controversial handling of gender and power politics.
Written by an international team of medieval scholars, historians, literary and cultural experts, bringing their own unique perspectives to the multiple societies, belief-systems and customs of the ”Game of Thrones” universe,
Memory and Medievalism in George RR Martin and Game of Thrones offers original and sparky insights into the world-building of books and show.
