Literary Allusion in Harry Potter builds on the world-wide
enthusiasm for J. K. Rowling's series in order to introduce its
readers to some of the great works of literature on which Rowling
draws. Harry Potter's narrative techniques are rooted in the
western literary tradition and its allusiveness provides insight
into Rowling's fictional world. Each chapter of Literary Allusion
in Harry Potter consists of an in-depth discussion of the
intersection between Harry Potter and a canonical literary work,
such as the plays of Shakespeare, the poetry of Homer, Ovid, the
Gawain-poet, Chaucer, Milton and Tennyson, and the novels of
Austen, Hardy and Dickens. This approach aims to transform the
reader's understanding of Rowling's literary achievement as well as
to encourage the discovery of works with which they may be less
familiar. The aim of this book is to delight Potter fans with a new
perspective on their favourite books while harnessing that
enthusiasm to increase their wider appreciation of literature.
