Klappentext zu „Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood “
This book is a detailed examination of one of the most important works of fantasy literature from the twentieth century. It goes through Mythago Wood 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 Mythago Wood 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 Mythago Wood are carried through into later books in the sequence as well as the Merlin Codex

Pressezitat
"ROBERT HOLDSTOCK'S MYTHAGO WOOD WAS HONORED with multiple awards, including the World Fantasy Award both as a novelette and as a full-length novel. Paul Kincaid's brief treatment of Holdstock's work is compact in length but substantial in the depth of its analysis. Kincaid's work is part of the Palgrave Science Fiction and Fantasy: A New Canon series and includes a comprehensive bibliography. ... Kincaid's assessment of Mythago Wood's place in the fantasy canon is both assured and compelling." (Glenn R. Gray, Mythlore, Vol. 42 (1), October, 2023)
