Klappentext

THE TWILIGHT SAGA THE BOOKS, THE MOVIES, THE CULTURAL PHENOMENON

By Jeremy Mark Robinson

This critical study explores the Twilight phenomenon, a popular fantasy romance franchise, which includes the books by Stephenie Meyer and the Hollywood films. The Twilight Saga began in 2007 with the first Twilight novel and in 2008 with the first Twilight movie. The book explores the novels and the movies in detail, sometimes employing feminist theory, and sometimes taking a wry, humorous approach to these much-loved cultural products. The study includes chapters on Meyer's other works; chapters on vampireology; vampire cinema; feminism; pop culture; the characters; the actors and directors; spoofs of Twilight; and even 50 Shades of Grey (a franchise that started out as Twilight fan fiction). Some of the elements of the Twilight franchise might be summarized like this: It is millions of fans (Twihards/ fang fans/ fanpires). It is four novels (totalling 591, 000 words), plus several spin-off books. It is five movies and two spoof movies. It is several TV documentaries. It is a host of home entertainment releases and box sets. It is a mass of merchandizing and tie-ins. It is a vast amount of fan fiction. It is an enormous amount of discussion online and in print. Fully illustrated. Paperback, with a full colour laminate cover. www. crmoon. com
