| Abstract: | The diploma paper focuses on the Australian author Colleen McCullough and her and most famous novel The Thorn Birds.
First, the term popular literature is explained, its history and development through the years.
Colleen McCullough’s life and its features reflected in her works are presented. She is introduced as the writer of many genres and even her biggest critics do not oppose it.
The diploma paper focuses on her most famous novel, The Thorn Birds. It has been sold in many copies, translated into many world languages and is today still one of the most frequently borrowed library books. The author earned the world fame with it.
It is considered as the popular literature. However, in this diploma paper the main thesis is that it is more than that and many examples from the novel itself are provided as proofs.
The author takes us to many parts of the world and she describes them in much detail, especially the Australian Outback. She shows great knowledge of the Catholic Church, its system and the Church requirements of its priests. Symbols and metaphors are used sparingly, but effectively.
Based on the novel, the miniseries was shot. The differences and the similarities with the novel are also presented in this diploma paper. |
