Vol. 27 (2021)

Published: 30-12-2021

The 27th volume of Popular Literature and Culture opens with an obituary of the versatile humanist Prof. Wojciech J. Burszta. And as wide as his interests were, so are the articles collected in this volume. You will find here texts on both fantasy literature, cinematography, and references to William Shakespeare’s work in popular culture, including, for example, the Latin American narconovel.
