Lewis's \u003ci\u003eThe Voyage of the Dawn Treader\u003c\/i\u003e, Umberto Eco's \u003ci\u003eBaudolino\u003c\/i\u003e, and the science fiction television franchises \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eStargate\u003c\/i\u003e. In doing so, the book opens the door to a new history of literary reception, using Old Irish genre categories to analyse post-medieval texts. It aims to show that there is a family of texts produced in the post-medieval period that are heirs of the medieval Irish literary tradition of fantastic voyage narratives and that using Old Irish genre categories to analyse post-medieval works can open up new perspectives in our understanding of these works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalia I.
