Philip Pullman's 'His Dark Materials'

Margaret Kean explores how Philip Pullman plays with the idea of
communication across different media in his trilogy Philip
Pullman’s work has a deep connection to Oxford, and 'His Dark
Materials' has passages set in the Oxford Museum of Natural
History. Margaret Kean (Helen Gardner Fellow in English, St Hilda's
College, University of Oxford) discusses how Pullman has rooted his
story in physical objects and encouraged current younger readers to
encounter the material world around them. She will also explore how
Pullman plays with the idea of communication across different media
in his trilogy, and will touch on the author's recent incorporation
of the technology of 'lantern slides' into later editions of 'His
Dark Materials'. This talk was part of an event exploring the work
of celebrated Oxford storytellers Lewis Carroll, J.R.R. Tolkien and
Philip Pullman and how their stories have been reimagined using a
range of digital media. Watch the full discussion here:
