Description

Ethics and Form in Fantasy Literature: Tolkien, Rowling and Meyer by Lykke Guanio-Uluru examines formal and ethical aspects of The Lord of the Rings , Harry Potter and the Twilight series in order to discover what best-selling fantasy texts can tell us about the values of contemporary Western culture.

“Guanio–Uluru does a fine job of exploring her topic in the works of her three chosen authors. The book is particularly strong in describing and discussing the plots and characters of The Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter series. Guanio–Uluru’s book would be appropriate for undergraduate and advanced high school literature students or metropolitan libraries, and I also think it would be very good for book discussion groups.” (Phillip Fitzsimmons, Mythlore, Vol. 40 (2), 2022)

“This review has barely skimmed the staggering range of ethical considerations advanced with extraordinary care and detail by Guanio-Uluru in this valuable book ... . She has shown that the relationship between ethics and form exhibits astonishing interpretive complexity, in a splendid book that will amply repay many rereadings.” (Claudia Mills, Children Literature Association Quarterly, Vol. 41 (3), Fall, 2016)



Lykke Guanio-Uluru is Assistant Professor of Literature at Bergen University College, Norway, and has taught MA courses in Fantasy Literature and Literary Theory at the University of Oslo, Norway. Professional affiliations include the Nordic Network of Narrative Studies, the Ethics Programme at UiO, and DiGRA.
