This study argues that Dickens' villains embody the crucial fusion between the deviant and theatrical aspects of his writing.
The heroes, villains, and monsters portrayed in such popular science fiction television series as Heroes, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Caprica, Doctor Who, and Torchwood, as well as Joss Whedon's many series, illustrate a shift from traditional, clearly defined characterizations toward much murkier definitions. Traditional heroes give way to "gray" heroes who must become more like the villains or monsters they face if they are going to successfully save society. This book examines the ambiguous heroes and villains, focusing on these characters' different perspectives on morality and their roles within society. Appendices include production details for each series, descriptions and summaries of pivotal episodes, and a list of selected texts for classroom use. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

What constitutes a villain? How does villainy differ from evil? Do villains created for children's fiction differ from those created for adults? The villains considered in this volume come from an eclectic range of sources - from comic books to film and from novels to television serials - and a broad selection of times and places. Villains continue to raise troubling questions about the role of narrative in both fiction and real life.
