Fantasy, Myth and the Measure of Truth: Tales of Pullman, Lewis, Tolkien, MacDonald and Hoffman by William Gray
Fantasy, Myth and the Measure of Truth explores the common literary themes and devices used in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials and their links to other literature such as Tolkien, Lewis, MacDonald and Hoffman. Gray's work is thoroughly detailed and cited, though it take awhile to get into the heart of the matter-- the Pullman analysis-- becuase he take the literary themes and devices back to their roots, German Romanticism. Not only does Gray take the themes and devices back to their show more roots, but he takes them to their logical, literary conclusion with an analysis of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. show less
