Medievalism in A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones 电子书下载
One of the biggest attractions of George R.R. Martin`s high fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, and by extension its HBO television adaptation, Game of Thrones, is its claim to historical realism. The author, thedirectors and producers of the adaptation, and indeed the fans of the books and show, all lay claim to Westeros, its setting, as representative of an authentic medieval world. But how true are these claims? Is it possible to faithfully represent a time so far removed from our own in time and culture? And what does an authentic medieval fantasy world look like?This book explores Martin`s and HBO`s approaches to and beliefs about the Middle Ages and how those beliefs fall into traditional medievalist and fantastic literary patterns. Examining both books and programme from a range of critical approaches - medievalism theory, gender theory, queer theory, postcolonial theory, andrace theory - Dr Carroll analyzes how the drive for historical realism affects the books` and show`s treatment of men, women, people of colour, sexuality, and imperialism, as well as how the author and showrunners discuss these effects outside the texts themselves.SHILOH CARROLL teaches in the writing center at Tennessee State University.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Martin and Medievalist FantasyChivalric Romance and Anti-RomanceMasculinity, Femininity, and Gender RelationsSex and SexualityPostcolonialism, Slavery, and the Great White HopeAdaptation and ReceptionAfterwordBibliography
