    "George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has sparked a renewed interest in things medieval. The pseudo-historical world of Westeros delights casual fans while offering a rich new perspective for medievalists and scholars. This study explores how Martin crafts a chivalric code that intersects with and illuminates well known medieval texts, including both romance and heroic epics. Through characters such as Brienne of Tarth, Sandor Clegane and Jaime Lannister, Martin variously challenges, upholds and deconstructs chivalry as depicted in the literature of the Middle Ages." -- Publisher's description An Introduction to Westerosi Chivalry -- Chivalry in Oral Tradition -- Chivalry in Written Tradition -- Franchise -- Loyalty -- Prowess -- Vengeance -- Peace Weaving -- Conclusions: Teaching Westeros

    Using the frameworks of literary theory relevant to modern fantasy, Dr. Joseph Young undertakes a compelling examination of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and his employment of the structural demands and thematic aptitudes of his chosen genre. Examining Martin's approaches to his obligations and licenses as a fantasist, Young persuasively argues that the power of A Song of Ice and Fire derives not from Martin's abandonment of genre convention, as is sometimes asserted, but from his ability to employ those conventions in ways that further, rather than constrain, his authorial program. Written in clear and accessible prose, George R. R. Martin and the Fantasy Form is a timely work which encourages a reassessment of Martin and his approach to his most famous novels. This is an important work for both students and critics of Martin's work and argues for a reading of A Song of Ice and Fire as a wide-ranging example of what modern fantasy can accomplish when employed with an eye to its capabilities and purpose

    George R.R. Martin`s "A Song of Ice and Fire" / "Game of Thrones" has been fascinating a wide audience as well as critics writing for sophisticated culture sections. The interdisciplinary contributions included in this book trace the popularity of Martin's complex "secondary world" in its medial manifestations as a book, movie and computer game. At the same time the methodical versatility of the contributions (from the fields of literary studies, history, political science, film studies, theology, musicology, medieval and game studies) provides new perspectives on numerous contextual as well as poetic aspects of the "world of ice and fire" - from the parts religion and sexuality play and the dynamics of control and violence up to the function riddles and prophecies have.

    George R.R. Martins »A Song of Ice and Fire« / »Game of Thrones« fasziniert ein Massenpublikum ebenso wie die Kritiker in den gehobenen Feuilletons. Die interdisziplinären Beiträge des Bandes spüren der Popularität von Martins komplexer »secondary world« in ihren medialen Ausprägungen als Buch, Film und Computerspiel nach. Dabei schafft die methodische Vielseitigkeit der Beiträge (aus Literatur-, Geschichts-, Politik-, Film-, Religions-, Musikwissenschaft, Mediävistik und Game Studies) neue Perspektiven auf zahlreiche inhaltliche wie poetologische Aspekte der »Welt von Eis und Feuer« - von der Rolle von Religion und Sexualität über die Dynamik von Herrschaft und Gewalt bis zur Funktion von Rätseln und Prophezeiungen. Markus May (PD Dr. phil.), Michael Baumann (M.A.), Robert Baumgartner (M.A.) und Tobias Eder (M.A.) forschen und lehren an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.

    "One of the biggest attractions of George R.R. Martin's high fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, and by extension its HBO television adaptation, Game of Thrones, is its claim to historical realism. The author, the directors and producers of the adaptation, and indeed the fans of the books and show, all lay claim to Westeros, its setting, as representative of an authentic medieval world. But how true are these claims? Is it possible to faithfully represent a time so far removed from our own in time and culture? And what does an authentic medieval fantasy world look like? This book explores Martin's and HBO's approaches to and beliefs about the Middle Ages and how those beliefs fall into traditional medievalist and fantastic literary patterns. Examining both books and programme from a range of critical approaches - medievalism theory, gender theory, queer theory, postcolonial theory, and race theory - Dr Carroll analyzes how the drive for historical realism affects the books' and show's treatment of men, women, people of colour, sexuality, and imperialism, as well as how the author and showrunners discuss these effects outside the texts themselves."--Publisher description

    "George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has sparked a renewed interest in things medieval. The pseudo-historical world of Westeros delights casual fans while offering a rich new perspective for medievalists and scholars. This study explores how Martin crafts a chivalric code that intersects with and illuminates well known medieval texts, including both romance and heroic epics. Through characters such as Brienne of Tarth, Sandor Clegane and Jaime Lannister, Martin variously challenges, upholds and deconstructs chivalry as depicted in the literature of the Middle Ages." -- Publisher's description An Introduction to Westerosi Chivalry -- Chivalry in Oral Tradition -- Chivalry in Written Tradition -- Franchise -- Loyalty -- Prowess -- Vengeance -- Peace Weaving -- Conclusions: Teaching Westeros

    This Element looks at adaptations of bestselling works of popular fiction to cinema, television, stage, radio, video games and other media platforms. It focuses on 'transmedia storytelling', building its case studies around the genre of modern fantasy: because the elaborate storyworlds produced by writers like J. R. R. Tolkien, J. K. Rowling and George R. R. Martin have readily lent themselves to adaptations across various media platforms. This has also made it possible for media entertainment corporations to invest in them over the long term, enabling the development of franchises through which their storyworlds are presented and marketed in new ways to new audiences.

    Chapter 1. Feasts and families -- Chapter 2. The knights of summer -- Chapter 3. Epic heroes -- Chapter 4. Politics. If the Middle Ages form the present-day backdrop to the continents of Westeros and Essos, then antiquity is their resonant past. The Known World is haunted by the remnants of distant and powerful civilizations, without whose presence the novels of George R R Martin and the ever popular HBO show would lose much of their meaning and appeal. Explores the echoes, from the Summer Islands to Storm's End, of a rich antique history. Discusses, the convergence of ancient Rome and the reach, scope and might of the Valyrian Freehold. Sows how the wanderings of Tyrion Lannister replay the journeys of Odysseus and Aeneas. Suggests that the War of the Five Kings resembles the War of the Four Emperors (68-69 AD). Demonstrates just how the Wall and the Wildlings advancing on it connect with Hadrian's bulwark against fierce tribes of Picts. Reveals the remarkable extent to which the entire Game of Thrones universe is animated by its ancient past

    "One of the biggest attractions of George R.R. Martin's high fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, and by extension its HBO television adaptation, Game of Thrones, is its claim to historical realism. The author, the directors and producers of the adaptation, and indeed the fans of the books and show, all lay claim to Westeros, its setting, as representative of an authentic medieval world. But how true are these claims? Is it possible to faithfully represent a time so far removed from our own in time and culture? And what does an authentic medieval fantasy world look like? This book explores Martin's and HBO's approaches to and beliefs about the Middle Ages and how those beliefs fall into traditional medievalist and fantastic literary patterns. Examining both books and programme from a range of critical approaches - medievalism theory, gender theory, queer theory, postcolonial theory, and race theory - Dr Carroll analyzes how the drive for historical realism affects the books' and show's treatment of men, women, people of colour, sexuality, and imperialism, as well as how the author and showrunners discuss these effects outside the texts themselves."--Publisher description

    "An in-depth look at the philosophical issues behind HBO's Game of Thrones television series and the books that inspired itGeorge R.R. Martin's New York Times bestselling epic fantasy book series, A Song of Ice and Fire, and the HBO television show adapted from it, have earned critical acclaim and inspired fanatic devotion. This book delves into the many philosophical questions that arise in this complex, character-driven series, including: Is it right for a "good" king to usurp the throne of a "bad" one and murder his family? How far should you go to protect your family and its secrets? In a fantasy universe with medieval mores and ethics, can female characters reflect modern feminist ideals? Timed for the premiere of the second season of the HBO Game of Thrones series Gives new perspectives on the characters, storylines, and themes of Game of Thrones Draws on great philosophers from ancient Greece to modern America to explore intriguing topics such as the strange creatures of Westeros, the incestuous relationship of Jaime and Cersei Lannister, and what the kings of Westeros can show us about virtue and honor (or the lack thereof) as they play their game of thrones Essential reading for fans, Game of Thrones and Philosophy will enrich your experience of your favorite medieval fantasy series"-- "Timed for the premiere of the second season of the HBO Game of Thrones series Gives new perspectives on the characters, storylines, and themes of Game of Thrones Draws on great philosophers from ancient Greece to modern America to explore intriguing topics such as the strange creatures of Westeros, the incestuous relationship of Jaime and Cersei Lannister, and what the kings of Westeros can show us about virtue and honor (or the lack thereof) as they play their game of thrones"--
