dc.description.abstract |
Novelist Terry Pratchett is one of England's most popular living writers; he is
recognized, by virtue of his Discworld novels, as one of the leading satirists working today.
Despite this high praise, however, Pratchett receives relatively little critical attention. His work is
fantasy and is often marginalized by academics-just like the rest of the geme. Pratchett has a
tremendous following in England and a smaller but completely devoted fan base in the United
States, not to mention enough readers all over the world to justify translation of his work into
nearly thirty languages; yet, his popularity has not necessarily resulted in the respect that his
writing deserves. However, there is considerable support for Pratchett's place in the literary
canon, based on his use of satire and parody to treat major issues. |
