Description
Once upon a time bards told stories for all ages. Shakespeare's plays were enjoyed by a wide range of people. Entire villages gathered to hear each installment of Dickens' stories. Today, however, we have a splintered culture in which niche markets rule. Then came JK Rowling's first book, and a global phenomenon was spawned as Harry captivated people of all ages, from all walks of life, despite our post-bard world. This roundtable will address these questions and more.
