(詳細はAdam Weishaupt in Bavaria in 1776, the Illuminati have been referred to in popular culture, in books and comics, television and movies, and games. A number of novelists, playwrights and composers are alleged to have been Illuminati members and to have reflected this in their work. Also, early conspiracy theories surrounding the Illuminati have inspired a number of creative works, and continue to do so. == Books and comics == * Gothic literature had a particular interest in the theme of the Illuminati. ''The Cambridge Companion to Gothic Fiction'' states that readers had a "scandalous vogue for German tales of the Illuminati."〔Hogle, Jerrold E. ''The Cambridge Companion to Gothic Fiction''. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2002. ISBN 978-0-521-79124-3. pp. 51–55〕 The role of the Illuminati in ''Horrid Mysteries'', as in Montague Summers' introduction to a later reprint of it. The Illuminati also turn up in two spoofs of the gothic genre, which both also reference ''Horrid Mysteries,'' ''Northanger Abbey'' by Jane Austen and ''Nightmare Abbey'' by Thomas Love Peacock.〔''Gothic immortals: the fiction of the brotherhood of the rosy cross'' by Marie Mulvey Roberts, ''passim.''〕 A number of writers have indicated the familiarity of Mary Shelley with the early anti-Illuminati text ''Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism'' due to Percy Bysshe Shelley's enthusiasm for it and see its influence in ''Frankenstein,'' ''Zastrozzi'' and ''The Assassins'' particularly, reading the Monster itself as an amalgam of Shelley's Illuminati-influenced ideas and of the Illuminati itself, with the monster being created in Ingolstadt, where the Illuminati had been formed.〔Roberts.〕〔Baldick, Chris. ''In Frankenstein's Shadow: Myth, Monstrosity, and Nineteenth-century Writing'', ISBN 978-0-19-812249-4. p.36〕〔''Mary Shelley: Her Life, Her Fiction, Her Monsters'', Anne K. Mellor, pp. 73, 83–84.〕 * ''The Illuminatus! Trilogy'' by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson is a three-book science fiction series published in the 1970s, which is regarded as a cult classic particularly in the hacker community. An incomplete comic book version of the ''Illuminatus!'' was produced and published by Eye-n-Apple Productions and Rip Off Press between 1987 and 1991. Robert Anton Wilson also wrote ''The Historical Illuminati Chronicles'' in the early 1980s, and several other books and stories making use of it. A nine-hour theatrical adaptation was produced by Ken Campbell. * Umberto Eco's ''Foucault's Pendulum'' is a labyrinthine 1988 novel about all sorts of secret societies, including the Illuminati and the Rosicrucians.〔"Foucault's Pendulum (review)", ''New York'', 6 November 1989, p. 120〕 * ''Fallen Angels'' by Bernard Cornwell (under the pseudonym Susannah Kells) (1984). A love story set in the shadow of the Paris revolutionary guillotine and the grounds of Lazender Castle in England. The illuminati plot to bring revolution to England is a central thread. * ''Angels & Demons'' (German title: ''Illuminati''), Dan Brown's 2000 precursor to 2003's ''The Da Vinci Code'', is about an apparent Illuminati order plot to destroy its enemy the Catholic Church by using antimatter to blow up the Vatican while Papal elections are being held. In this novel the Illuminati movement was founded by Galileo Galilei, and others, as an enlightened reaction to persecution by the Catholic Church. They were initially based in Italy, but fled after four key members were executed by the Vatican. Apparently there are four churches to them in Rome, each representing one of the four elements. In actual fact, the Illuminati are indeed defunct and the events of the book are orchestrated as part of an elaborate scheme by its central antagonist.〔Dice, Mark (2005) ''The Resistance Manifesto'', The Resistance, San Diego, ISBN 0-9673466-4-9, p. 305〕 This is also the plot of the film of the same name. Simon Cox, writer of ''Cracking the Davinci Code'' has written the book ''Illuminating Angels and Demons'', in which he explains the facts behind the pagan signs and secret societies in ''Angels & Demons''. * In Michael Romkey vampire novels, the Illuminati are an order of benevolent vampires, consisting of many famous figures throughout history (Beethoven, Mozart, etc.). The main character, David Parker, joins the order, but later leaves.〔Altner, Patricia (1998) ''Vampire Readings: An Annotated Bibliography'', Scarecrow Press, ISBN 978-0-8108-3504-7, p. 60〕 * In Larry Burkett's book ''The Illuminati'', "The Society" seeks world power.〔The new inquisitions: heretic-hunting and the intellectual origins of modern totalitarianism By Arthur Versluis, pp. 121–122.〕 * In Marvel Comics, the Illuminati is a group of superheroes who joined forces and secretly work behind the scenes in Marvel's main shared universe. * In War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy, Count Pierre Bezukhov, a Freemason, is accused of attempting to introduce the ideals of Illuminism to his lodge. *In Kazue Kato's manga ''Blue Exorcist'', the Illuminati are a secret organization that oppose the True Cross Order (an organization of exorcists that specializes in killing demons) and, by extension, the Vatican itself, which controls the Order. Their goal is to merge the world of humans and world of demons so that Satan, the king of all demons, can rule over the new world order. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Illuminati in popular culture」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
