The 14 essays in this volume explore Stephenie Meyer's wildly
popular Twilight series in the contexts of literature, religion,
fairy tales, film, and the gothic. Several contributors examine
Meyer's emphasis on abstinence, considering how, why, and if the
author's Mormon faith has influenced the series' worldview. Others
look at fan involvement in the Twilight world, focusing on how the
series' avid following has led to an economic transformation in
Forks, Washington, the real town where the fictional series is set.
Other topics include Meyer's use of Quileute shape-shifting
legends; Twilight's literary heritage and its frequent references
to classic works of literature; and the series's controversial
depictions of feminity.
