His enormous range of inspirations
George RR Martin’s novels, with its deeply interlocking narratives, finely crafted drama and enormous range of characters, is a creation of extraordinary breadth.
So how did a writer best known for short stories come to craft such a gigantic sequence of novels, and what is the key to their extraordinary success? What sources—historical, literary and personal—did Martin draw upon in the writing, and what inspiration did they give him?
This is an in-depth bringing together of the enormous range of inspirations behind Martin’s work—from historical borrowings as wide-ranging as the Roman empire, the Wars of the Roses and the Mongol conquests, to diverse literary and mythological texts, and Martin’s own family experience and biography.
