{"product_id":"the-medieval-worlds-of-neil-shiloh-carroll-9781609389130","title":"The Medieval Worlds of Neil Gaiman: From Beowulf to Sleeping Beauty","description":"Neil Gaiman is one of the most widely known writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, having produced fiction and nonfiction, fantasy and horror, television, comics, and prose. He often attributes this eclecticism to his \"compost heap\" approach to writing, gathering inspiration from life, religion, literature, and mythology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Readers love to sink into Gaiman's medieval worlds--but what makes them \"medieval\"? Shiloh Carroll offers an introduction to the idea of medievalism, how the literature and culture of the Middle Ages have been reinterpreted and repurposed over the centuries, and how the layers of interpretation have impacted Gaiman's own use of medieval material. She examines influences from Norse mythology and \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e to medieval romances and fairy tales in order to expand readers' understanding and appreciation of Gaiman's work, as well as the rest of the medievalist films, TV shows, and books that are so popular today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shiloh Carroll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609389131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609389130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.22w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2024","brand":"Shiloh Carroll","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190950654207,"sku":"9781609389130","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ad61371-3b33-4f5c-b343-80059a4a31c9.jpg?v=1690873227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-medieval-worlds-of-neil-shiloh-carroll-9781609389130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
