Characters in Fictional Worlds - Understanding Imaginary Beings in Literature, Film, and Other Media

Although fictional characters have long dominated the reception of literature, films, television programs, comics, and other media products, only recently have they begun to attract their due attention in literary and media theory. The book systematically surveys today´s diverse and at times conflicting theoretical perspectives on fictional character.
