Context, Directions, and the Legacy
Redaktion: Kascakova, Janka; Levente Palatinus, David

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume is a long overdue contribution to the dynamic, but unevenly distributed study of fantasy and J.R.R. Tolkien's legacy in Central Europe. The essays move between and across theories of cultural and social history, reception, adaptation and audience studies.
