Empire Of Magic : Medieval Romance And The Politics Of Cultural Fantasy

Attribution
Geraldine Heng
Publication Details
Book, Columbia University Press, 2003
Description
Empire of Magic offers a genesis and genealogy for medieval romance and the King Arthur legend through the history of Europe’s encounters with the East in crusades, travel, missionizing, and empire formation. After locating the rise of romance and Arthurian legend in the contact zones of East and West, Heng demonstrates the adaptability of romance and its key role in the genesis of an English national identity. Empire of Magic is expansive in scope, spanning the eleventh to the fifteenth centuries, and detailed in coverage, examining various types of romance — historical, national, popular, chivalric, family, and travel romances, among others — to see how cultural fantasy responds to changing crises, pressures, and demands in a number of different ways.

Reading Harry Potter : Critical Essays

Publication Details
Book, Praeger, 2003

- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
The essays in this collection assume that Rowling’s works should not be relegated to the categories of pulp fiction or children’s trends, which would deny their certain influence on the intellectual, emotional, and psychosocial development of today’s children. Following an introductory discussion of the Harry Potter phenomenon are essays considering the psychological and social-developmental experiences of children as mirrored in Rowling’s novels.

The Hidden Key To Harry Potter : Understanding The Meaning, Genius, And Popularity Of Joanne Rowling’s Harry Potter Novels

Attribution
John Granger
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Zossima Press, 2002
Description
What you need to know about The Hidden Key to Harry Potter: 1) It is the first critical study to unlock the inner meaning of Harry Potter by treating the series seriously as literature along the lines of Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. Rowling, demonized by some Christian critics because of the magical setting of her books, is ironically writing the most charming and challenging Christian fiction for children since Lewis? The Hidden Key demonstrates that all the Potter books teach Christian doctrines - sometimes with subtlety, often baldly - in their plot, imagery, and character development.
