Challenging in its intellectual scope, ambitious scale and range of literary reference, it is also hugely controversial due to its critique of organised religion. This collection of original essays by an international team of distinguished scholars assesses Pullman's achievement and introduces readers to some of the key debates surrounding His Dark Materials. Covering topics such as religion, gender, childhood and scientific enquiry, the volume also discusses the Hollywood film of the first book and features a new interview with Pullman himself. -- Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Pullman, Philip, $d 1946- $t His dark materials. 600 10 $a Pullman, Philip, $d 1946- $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Fantasy fiction, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Young adult fiction, English $x History and criticism. 700 1 $a Butler, Catherine, $d 1963- 700 1 $a Halsdorf, Tommy. 830 0 $a New casebooks (Palgrave Macmillan (Firm)) 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180102022533.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826041306.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1E3E094957111E48BB50097DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
