Rezensionen

Phillips's deep and engaged prose pokes and prods at the myths that have formed around Doctor Who in popular culture, as well as teasing apart the ways in which the stories about the Doctor have rested on and developed from classic mythological tropes . [his] erudite analysis throughout the book establishes clear insight into Doctor Who and its importance for academic scholarship.
