He often attributes this eclecticism to his "compost heap" approach to writing, gathering influences from life, religion, literature, and mythology. The worlds of Neil Gaiman have their roots in thousands of years of human storytelling. The Middle Ages in particular have been enormously influential in content, form, and aesthetics for many of Gaiman's works. This book 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 influenced Gaiman's own use of medieval material. The book examines direct and indirect influences, from Norse mythology and Beowulf to medieval romances and fairy tales, in order to provide context and background to expand and enrich one's understanding and appreciation of Gaiman's work"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 541 1 $3 Copy 1 ; $c Gift ; $d 2023. $5 IaU 600 10 $a Gaiman, Neil $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Gaiman, Neil $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00269214 650 0 $a English literature $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Medievalism in literature. 650 0 $a Literature, Medieval $x Influence. 650 7 $a Literature, Medieval $x Influence $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000160 650 7 $a Medievalism in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015394 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Literary criticism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01986215 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Critiques litteÌraires. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000001939 776 08 $i Online version: $a Carroll, Shiloh, 1980- $t Medieval worlds of Neil Gaiman $d Iowa City : University of Iowa Press, [2023] $z 9781609389147 $w (DLC) 2022059913 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011542.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=49BAE5A6B50611EEB233F11920ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
