Religion in Good Omens
Hugvísindasvið Religion in Good Omens A Study of the Usage and Effect of Religion in the Comedic Fantasy Novel Good Omens Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Erla Filipía Haraldsdóttir Janúar 2014 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enska Religion in Good Omens A Study of the Usage and Effect of Religion in the Comedic Fantasy Novel Good Omens Ritgerð til BA-prófs í Ensku Erla Filipía Haraldsdóttir Kt.: 281090-2679 Leiðbeinandi: Úlfhildur Dagsdóttir Janúar 2014 2 Abstract When analysing the fantasy novel Good Omens (1990) by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, one comes across various interesting features, most to do with its relationship with the source material, the Bible. As it is a fantasy novel, the authors have defined the Christian biblical elements as foreign and 'other', outside of the realm that is familiar and natural to the reader, and can thereby render both Heaven and Hell antagonistic. An important element of that is the morality of the central characters. Those of them that are human have free will, and are therefore in control of their own destiny and consequently can take responsibility for their actions. Thus the humans are moral creatures. On the other hand, the characters that belong to either the forces of Heaven or Hell, that is, angels or demons, have no free will, and are completely under the control of either God or Satan. Therefore Heaven and Hell are exempt from moral consequences. They have no free will, are not to blame for their actions, and therefore their actions can not be classified as morally good or bad.

Minding the Gap: Time in Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and The
Minding the Gap: Time in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and the Hermeneutical Inquiry Timothy Andrew John Peoples Thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of Houston in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts In English Margot Backus, Ph.D., Director Maria Gonzalez, Ph.D., English Department Reader Dan Price, Ph.D., Honors College Reader Defended May 2004 Houston, Texas Keywords: British literature, English literature, postmodernism, hermeneutics, contemporary literature, Neil Gaiman, religious studies, time Copyright 2004 Timothy Andrew John Peoples i Minding the Gap: Time in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and the Hermeneutical Inquiry Tim Peoples ABSTRACT I begin this thesis with a discussion of Neil Gaiman’s career and my interaction with his first novel, Neverwhere . I define time in the novel as the succession and interrelatedness of events and divide this definition into two perceptions: immediacy and graduality. I apply the former to the novel’s separate worlds, which are called London Above and London Below. London Above, in the perception of Richard Mayhew, the main character, favors immediacy and rejects graduality. Though his perception is incomplete, the nature of London Above makes him unsuitable for life there. London Below, on the other hand, exhibits both perceptions. Graduality’s influence on the two worlds shows a departure from Western conceptions of time that makes London Above and London Below a symbiotic that cannot be unified. This symbiosis can be allegorized as the hermeneutical gap. After examining similar concepts in Gaiman’s Stardust and American Gods , I conclude that Gaiman’s writing states that the permanently separated hermeneutical gap allows humanity to reflect upon itself.

Aesthetic Universals in Neil Gaiman's Post-Postmodern Mythmaking
Prague Journal of English Studies Volume 8, No. 1, 2019 ISSN: 1804-8722 (print) '2,10.2478/pjes-2019-0006 ISSN: 2336-2685 (online) Aesthetic Universals in Neil Gaiman’s Post-Postmodern Mythmaking Ivan Čipkár Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic Aesthetic theory, as refl ected in both contemporary cognitive (Patrick Colm Hogan) and more traditional structuralist criticism (H.G. Widdowson), points to the dynamics between familiarity and surprise as the driving force behind the pleasure we derive from reading fi ction. is paper explains how Neil Gaiman’s works, particularly his novel Neverwhere, utilize genre expectations and reinvent mythologies in order to captivate audiences in the current age of unprecedented access to information and a rather superfi cial intertextuality. e paper draws on Brian Attebery’s analyses of the literature of the fantastic to place Gaiman within the context of both modernist and postmodernist legacies, while proposing that his works could be best understood as representative of the current cultural paradigm, sometimes labelled as the pseudo- modern or post-postmodernism. e discussion of the shi ing paradigm is used as a backdrop for the scrutiny of the devices employed in Gaiman’s writing: the pre-modern focus on storytelling, prototypicality, modernist “mythic principle”, postmodernist textual strategies, and utilization of current technologies and mass-communication media. Keywords Literary universals; myth; Neil Gaiman; postmodernism; post-postmodernism; pseudo-modern is affi nity between the mythical and the abstractly literary illuminates many aspects of fi ction, especially the more popular fi ction which is realistic enough to be plausible in its incidents and yet romantic enough to be a “good story” (Frye 139).

English 12 Novel Genres Summer 2015 Reading List
English 12 Novel Genres: A very long list! Non-Fiction BEHIND THE BEAUTIFUL FOREVERS: LIFE, DEATH, AND HOPE IN A MUMBAI UNDERCITY by Katherine Boo Katherine Boo spent three years among the residents of the Annawadi slum, a sprawling, cockeyed settlement of more than 300 tin-roof huts and shacks in the shadow of Mumbai’s International Airport. From within this “sumpy plug of slum” Boo unearths stories both tragic and poignant--about residents’ efforts to raise families, earn a living, or simply survive. These unforgettable characters all nurture far- fetched dreams of a better life. As one boy tells his brother: “Everything around us is roses. And we’re like the s**t in between.” A New Yorker writer and recipient of a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur “Genius” grant, Boo’s writing is superb and the depth and courage of her reporting from this hidden world is astonishing. At times, it’s hard to believe this is nonfiction. (Neal Thompson) BEYOND COURAGE: THE UNTOLD STORY OF JEWISH RESISTANCE DURING THE HOLOCAUST by Doreen Rappaport With all the shelves of Holocaust books about the millions lost in the genocide, this is one of the few histories to focus in detail on Jewish resistance across Europe—those who fought back and saved others. The intricate deceptions are as compelling as the confrontations, and the underground escape stories make for thrilling adventure. The horror of what was left behind is always present: the ghettos, the camps, the transports, the Jews who did not support armed resistance, and those who did not get away, including some who fled to forests and starved to death or were murdered by their anti-Semitic neighbors.

Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Paradise Lost
26 “I didn't say it. Milton said it. And he was blind”: Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Paradise Lost. THOMAS TYRRELL While William Shakespeare’s influence on popular culture has been constantly recognised, feted and celebrated, John Milton’s has declined considerably since his eighteenth-century peak. Unlike the Shakespeare’s works, frequently described as “timeless”, Milton’s prose works are irrevocably bound up with their seventeenth- century contexts, while his poetry is so entangled with key Christian stories and psychic locations that it sometimes becomes difficult to distinguish the influence of Paradise Lost (1667) from that of Genesis, or Milton’s Hell from that of Virgil, Dante or Hieronymus Bosch. Despite this, Paradise Lost remains influential in many arenas: among other things, the poem is a prototypical work of science-fiction, featuring heroic interstellar voyages and speculations into the workings of the universe. Critical consideration of this influence tends to concentrate on C.S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy (1938-45) and Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials (1995-2000), and these novels, conveniently enough, mirror a factional divide between Milton scholars. C.S. Lewis’s interpretation of the poem, as explicated in his Preface to Milton, is orthodoxly Christian. On the other hand, Philip Pullman favours a distinguished critical line which argues that Satan is the poem’s secret hero and which includes William Blake, Percy Shelley and William Empson. Aside from these two novels, essays tracing the influence of sophisticated readings of Milton in popular fiction have been few in number.1 In this essay I will examine how the developing mythos of the DC Comics Universe (or DCU) came to incorporate a distinct and clearly legible line of Miltonic influence.2 I will begin by identifying those aspects of Paradise Lost which present the most parallels with the comic book narrative, notably the War in Heaven as related to Adam and Eve by the Angel Raphael, and which forms the bulk of Books V and VI in Paradise Lost.
