| Description: | A collection of essays that explore various aspects of the teen detective series, including Veronica Mars and vintage television; the search for the mother; fatherhood; how the show relates to the classical Greek paradigm; feminist anger and vigilante justice; the anti-hero's journey; the intergenerational audience; rape narrative and meaning; and television fandom. During the course of its three seasons, Veronica Mars captured the attention of fans and academics alike. The 12 scholarly essays in this collection examine the show''s most compelling elements. Topics covered include vintage television, the search for the mother, fatherhood, the show''s connection to classical Greek paradigms, the anti-hero''s journey, rape narrative and meaning, and television fandom. Collectively, these essays reveal how a teen television show--equal parts noir, romance, social realism and father-daughter drama--became a worthy subject for scholarly study. |
