patterns are known as “archetypes”. The analysis of archetypes in literature is the subject of a
modern literary theory called “mythological criticism”, a theory which has roots related to
history, mythology, and even psychology. This theory focuses on the concept of “the collective
unconscious” which appeared as a psychological explanation to humans universal imagination
that has been leading them to recreate ancient mythical symbols and themes. Although both
fantasy and myths share the same aspect of unreality, some authors did a great job combining
these two elements with real ancient history and documented facts. The historification of myth
in T.A. Barron’s Merlin The Lost Years (1996), is what this research will be dedicated to
explore, along with the conscious and the unconscious recreation of myths through patterns,
themes, and characters of this novel. From the title of Barron’s book, the reader already expects
to see much of the ancient Celtic myth of Merlin, however, it is not the only thing he ends up
finding there. Barron uses intertextuality and archetypes to refer to Greek/Celtic mythology,
and also to Welsh medieval history. This dissertation, therefore, aims to discover the relation
between history, myth, and fantasy literature, through the analysis of Merlin: The Lost Years
(1996). This analysis will sort out the related elements to medieval Welsh history, the Celtic,
and the Greek mythology, and will also examine the way collective unconscious manifests
itself in the recreation of mythological patterns. | | note de thèses : | Master Degree in civilization and Literature |
