This history concludes with a consideration of thematic undercurrents operating across its body chapters: the gradual disappearance of demonic goblins in Christian discourse, the persistence of folkloric goblins despite lamentations about their perpetual recession from our world, the inversion of male-coded goblins in fantasy media of the twenty-first century and in the Goblincore aesthetic, and the reframing of goblins’ atypical appearance and behaviors (previously used to denigrate certain groups of people) as a symptom of intolerance and prejudice. This summation is followed by a discussion of some goblin-centric motifs that did not neatly fit into the rest of this book (like why so many goblins have green skin), of methodological difficulties that arose when writing a history of this breadth, and of possible paths for future research.
