Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood

Zusatztext

This book is a detailed examination of one of the most important works of fantasy literature from the twentieth century. It goes through <i>Mythago Wood</i> by Robert Holdstock considering how it engages with war on a personal and family level, how it plays with ideas of time as something fluid and disturbing, and how it presents mythology as something crude and dangerous. The book places <i>Mythago Wood</i> in the context of Holdstock¿s other works, noting in part how complex ideas of time have been a consistent element in his fiction. The book also briefly examines how the themes laid out in <i>Mythago Wood</i> are carried through into later books in the sequence as well as the Merlin Codex
