Frontmatter and Editorial

In lieu of an abstract, here is the first paragraph of the editorial: Terry Pratchett is celebrated by critics and devoted readers alike as one of the UKʼs most brilliant fantasy writers and an inveterate humourist with a knack of creating unforgettable characters. Writing with verve, poignancy and daring, Pratchett is known for his signature style as much as for the bold criticism deftly embedded in his comedic writing. Pratchett made use of comedy to communicate wider truths about what makes people human, pointing out stereotypes and ideals with a sharply poised pen. In honour of Sir Terry, who passed away in March, gender forum proudly presents this special issue dedicated to his unforgettable works.
