Harry Potter's Bookshelf: The Great Books Behind the Hogwarts Adventures explores the literary landscape of themes and genres J.K. Rowling artfully wove throughout her novels-and the influential authors and stories that inspired her. From Austen's Emma and Dickens's class struggles, through the gothic romances of Dracula and Frankenstein and the detective mysteries of Sayers, to the dramatic alchemy of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Shakespeare, Rowling cast a powerful spell with the great books of English literature that transformed the story of a young wizard into a worldwide pop culture phenomenon.
