| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Stock characters are fictional characters that are often heavily stereotyped. This book provides discussions on types of hero characters such as boy next door, Christ figure, epic hero, false hero, folk hero, romantic hero, tragic hero, whiz kid, and more. Other characters covered in this book includes antiheroes, villains, other miscellaneous heroes such as absent-minded professors, artist-scientists, archimimes, bimbos, girl next door, redshirts, and more. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
