This captivating book delves into the intricate connections between history and fantasy in George RR Martin's immensely popular book series, 'A Song of Ice and Fire,' and the global TV phenomenon, HBO's 'Game of Thrones.' Recognizing the final seasons' emphasis on the cultural significance of history, truth, and memory in the conflict between Bran and the Night King, the volume comprehensively examines the TV show's conclusion through various readings, spanning from medieval history, institutions, and practices as depicted in the books to the show's distinct medievalism. The topics under discussion encompass the treatment of historical phenomena such as chivalry, tournaments, dreams, educational models, and the supernatural, as well as the diverse ways in which these are mediated in Martin's books and the TV series. Additionally, the collection features a fresh study of one of Martin's key sources, Maurice Druon's 'Les Rois Maudits,' in-depth explorations of major characters within their medieval contexts, and thought-provoking reflections on the show's controversial handling of gender and power politics. Comprising contributions from an international team of medieval scholars, historians, literary and cultural experts, each author brings their unique perspectives to the diverse societies, belief systems, and customs of the 'Game of Thrones' universe. Memory and Medievalism in George RR Martin and Game of Thrones presents original and thought-provoking insights into the world-building of both the books and the show, captivating readers with its insightful analysis.
