K. Rowling's series in order to introduce its readers to some of the great works of literature on which Rowling draws. \u003cem\u003eHarry Potter\u003c\/em\u003e's narrative techniques are rooted in the western literary tradition and its allusiveness provides insight into Rowling's fictional world. Each chapter of \u003cem\u003eLiterary Allusion in Harry Potter \u003c\/em\u003econsists of an in-depth discussion of the intersection between \u003cem\u003eHarry Potter \u003c\/em\u003eand a canonical literary work, such as the plays of Shakespeare, the poetry of Homer, Ovid, the \u003cem\u003eGawain\u003c\/em\u003e-poet, Chaucer, Milton and Tennyson, and the novels of Austen, Hardy and Dickens. This approach aims to transform the reader's understanding of Rowling's literary achievement as well as to encourage the discovery of works with which they may be less familiar. The aim of this book is to delight \u003cem\u003ePotter\u003c\/em\u003e fans with a new perspective on their favourite books while harnessing that enthusiasm to increase their wider appreciation of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeatrice Groves\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Research Lecturer and tutor at Trinity College, Oxford.
