Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials- A Multiple Allegory is an elongated essay-style book. This book has six main sections: an introduction with an explanation of allegory, the plot synopsis of HDM, the plot synopsis of Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe, a detailed analysis of all the allegory between LWW and HDM, a plot synopsis of Paradise Lost, and the analysis of the allegory between Paradise Lost and HDM. Becuase the book goes into detail, Leonard Wheat describes allegories that I didn't even know existed. Fans of His Dark Materials should read this book to give them a different perspective on HDM.

Wheat demonstrates how Pullman retells two prominent works of British literature--C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and John Milton's Paradise Lost. Pullman's aim is to counter Lewis's pro-Christian allegory with his own anti-Christian allegory. Pullman does this in his second allegory by turning Paradise Lost upside down. Satan and his daughter, Sin, along with Adam's murderous son Cain, become heroes; God and Jesus become villains. This retold story depicts our society's warfare between knowledge (symbolized by Dust) and religious superstitions (symbolized by Specters). Pullman adds an original third hidden story featuring Christian missionaries, Charles Darwin, agnostics, and atheists. Wheat's intriguing interpretation of Pullman's work is the first to point out the many allegorical features of His Dark Materials and to highlight the ingenious ways in which Pullman subtly attacks religious institutions and superstitions.
