Le Guin's Earthsea Wood, Felicity Cartwright, John English language Bibliography: pages 156-164. In this thesis, the nature and function of Marvellous Secondary worlds are examined by means of a comparative study of three Marvellous Secondary worlds: C. S. Lewis's Narnia, J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, and Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea. We consider the way in which Marvellous Secondary worlds may be used in order to explore certain aspects of reality highly effectively through themes and images characteristic of Marvellous fantasy. In the Introduction, the wide range of Secondary worlds in modern fantasy and the specific functions that Secondary worlds may fulfil is commented on. These analyses are then linked to a discussion of some of the central characteristics of Marvellous Secondary worlds. 2016-10-16T09:48:40Z 2016-10-16T09:48:40Z 1986 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/22153 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
