A characteristic of high fantasy literature of the latter part of
the twentieth century has been the writing of multi-volume, complex
series. This book uses Robert Jordan's 'The Wheel of Time' sequence
to explore the role and purpose of epic-style high fantasy, and
that of fans, as storytellers and pattern makers. The book focuses
on the mediaeval technique of interlacing as the key structuring
device of 'The Wheel of Time' to unlock the intricate patterning of
Jordan's narrative. Close readings of Jordan's novels offer answers
to key questions: What are the patterns in Jordan's texts? How do
they feature in the work? What functions do they serve in the work
in regard to narrative, meaning and in relationship to the reader?
