Bio

 

Hannah Madsen has a passion for exploring new issues arising in Comparative Literature today, particularly regarding popular culture and other new literary frontiers, such as hypertextual media and the complications in reader-author dynamics resulting from such texts. She is a Master’s student at the University of Alberta in the Comparative Literature program and focuses on popular literature, particularly urban fantasy and other relatively new literary genres, in her research. She is currently working on an exploration of prominent urban fantasy texts and their popularity with contemporary readers through an examination of the world building and formulas present in urban fantasy novels.
