Literary Allusion in Harry Potter de Beatrice Groves

Literary Allusion in Harry Potter

Autor Beatrice Groves
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iun 2017

Literary Allusion in Harry Potter builds on the world-wide enthusiasm for J. K. Rowling's series in order to introduce its readers to some of the great works of literature on which Rowling draws.

Harry Potter's narrative techniques are rooted in the western literary tradition and its allusiveness provides insight into Rowling's fictional world. Each chapter of Literary Allusion in Harry Potter consists of an in-depth discussion of the intersection between Harry Potter and a canonical literary work, such as the plays of Shakespeare, the poetry of Homer, Ovid, the Gawain-poet, Chaucer, Milton and Tennyson, and the novels of Austen, Hardy and Dickens. This approach aims to transform the reader's understanding of Rowling's literary achievement as well as to encourage the discovery of works with which they may be less familiar.

The aim of this book is to delight Potter fans with a new perspective on their favourite books while harnessing that enthusiasm to increase their wider appreciation of literature.

Conclusion

Recenzii

"Beatrice Groves, in her Literary Allusion in Harry Potter (2017), offers a fascinating account of the cultural logic of allusion...　there are other books in the books we read. We needed Beatrice Groves to say that with such beauty and clarity. This is a rare book of literary criticism that one is happy to read, and recommend."
Bijay K. Danta, The Journal of Comparative Literature and Aesthetics (2019)
"Literary Allusion in Harry Potteris a thoughtful monograph that draws attention to the intertextual connections within the Western literary tradition… [with] fascinating insights into the series… this book is a must-read for fans and scholars of Harry Potter who are interested in how the series is engaged in conversations with other texts and with Rowling's own personal experiences…Literary Allusion in Harry Potteris designed to help readers see the series in a new light and to encourage them to discover or rediscover connections between Rowling's epic and classic works."
Michele D. Castleman,Children's Literature Association Quarterly(2018)
"[Literary Allusion in Harry Potter] wears its undoubted scholarship lightly, and offers both the interested and the academic reader much to ponder. The use of excerpts from interviews by Rowling is a particularly effective way to bring the discussion of the relationship between canonical texts, the author and her novels into the world of the engaged reader… [Dr Groves'] reputation and scholarship bring academic heft to the project, while her generally lucid writing style points it in the direction of its intended market."
Alison Jack,The University of Edinburgh, UK
"[Literary Allusion in Harry Potter]　works on a number of levels, allowing a sixthformer a first introduction to Rowling’s literary forebears, or a university student to uncover the multiple layers of their childhood favourite – and indeed to have something of an insight into the study of literary allusion itself. And for general readers, it provides a light-footed, but sure, guide to a world of classic literature which Rowling freely draws upon."
Felicity James,University of Leicester, UK.
