Book Description :

Game of Thrones, the television show based on the Song of Ice and Fire series written by George R.R. Martin, is a global phenomenon. Often positioned as the grittier antithesis to J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Martin's narrative focuses on the darker side of chivalry and heroism, stripping away these higher ideals to reveal the greed, amorality, and lust for power underpinning them. This book brings together academics and fans of Martin's universe to consider not just the content of the books and HBO series, but fan responses to both. It focuses on the communities created by the books and television series and how these communities envision themselves as consumers, critics, and even creators of fanworks in a wide variety of media, including fiction, art, fancasting, and cosplay.
