The Medieval Worlds of Neil Gaiman
The Medieval Worlds of Neil Gaiman: From Beowulf to Sleeping Beauty | Shiloh Carroll
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
Readers love to sink into Neil Gaiman's medieval worlds--but what makes them "medieval"? Shiloh Carroll 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 impacted Gaiman's own use of medieval material.

Neil Gaiman has taken inspiration from many places for his creative works. This book examines the medieval influences on some of his projects.

Such an insightful book! What we think of as Medieval has changed over the years, and Gaiman‘s use of these different interpretations just makes his own writing better. Makes me want to reread a bunch of Gaiman‘s books, and also seek out the ones I haven‘t encountered yet, like Sandman. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
