解説
On Characters in Terry Pratchett's Discworld Novels: Intertextual, Fantastic, Bewitching offers a rich scholarly exploration of one of modern fantasy's most beloved fictional universes. Blending rigorous literary analysis with genuine enthusiasm for Pratchett's work, this book examines how Discworld characters, from witches and wizards to vampires and barbarians, are shaped by intertextual references, reworked genre conventions, and evolving representations of identity.
Drawing on examples across the entire series, the study reveals how Pratchett artfully parodies literary tradition, blends fantasy with crime and Gothic fiction, and redefines familiar archetypes. It demonstrates how his characters function as vehicles for satire, social commentary, and philosophical reflection, while humor serves as both narrative device and critical tool for exploring power, society, and inequality.
Accessible to academic readers and devoted fans alike, this volume bridges scholarly analysis with fan appreciation, offering a comprehensive and entertaining examination of the narrative craft that brings Discworld's unforgettable characters to life.
