Luke Thurston

Literary Ghosts from the Victorians to Modernism (eBook, PDF)

The Haunting Interval

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book resituates the ghost story as a matter of literary hospitality and as part of a vital prehistory of modernism, seeing it not as a quaint neo-gothic ornament, but as a powerful literary response to the technological and psychological disturbances that marked the end of the Victorian era.
