Recenzii
This new collection brings together a series of rich, insightful studies which dissect the work of George R.R. Martin and its wider impact and legacy. The contributions to this collection demonstrate how so many vital elements of the medieval world from the mundane aspects of religion, trade, finance, and academia to the glories of chivalry and tournaments, resonate in A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones. From analysing the role of key characters like Cersei Lannister and Sandor Clegane to exploring underlying elements such as masculine sexuality and violence, issues of disability or the role of emotionality, this collection has something for every reader including both fans of Martin's writing and the wider works which it has inspired or scholars and student of the Middle Ages.
The power of this collection lies precisely in its breadth and inclusivity, offering valuable perspectives from a range of disciplinary homes and national traditions in order to present a vibrant and diverse exploration of George R.R. Martin's world. The 12 essays take us from Kings Landing to Essos, and from Castle Black to Dorne, to understand what happens when memory comes into conflict with memories. From Targaryen Kings to peripatetic Septons, the collection addresses not just the inhabitants of the Seven Kingdoms, but their differing voices, taking in questions of disability, toxicity, gender theory, and queerness along the way.The power of these essays, then, lies not only in the depth of the scholarship at work, but in the variety of the voices which the editors have assembled to offer broad and capacious meditations on questions of power, legitimacy, gender, agency, leadership, and fantasy. As Jon Snow reminds Maestor Aemon in his reminder of the need for diversity: A chain needs all sorts of metals, and a land needs all sorts of people." (GoT: ASOIAF, p. 435) Let it be said that the many metals of this collection make for a very strong chain indeed.
The essays in this collection create a fascinating parallel scholarly universe in response to the palimpsest of history, memory, and fantasy that is A Game of Thrones. Tackling issues of democracy, faith, scholarship, jurisprudence, medicine, economics, chivalry, emotion, violence, and misogyny, the contributors to this volume offer smart critical commentary on the traditionalist medievalist world imagined by George R.R. Martin, David Benioff, and Daniel Weiss.
