Reanimating grief (eBook, ePUB)

Waking the dead in literature, theatre and performance

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Reanimating grief explores the revival of the dead in literature, theatre and performance. Using the central concept of 'reanimation', the book captures the multiple ways the dead return in cultural texts as ghosts or memories, epiphanies or fragments, in visual, textual or acoustic forms.

The chapters combine critical and creative writing to show how bereavement involves a desire to understand death's poetics and to express the uniqueness of personal loss. The book covers a wide range of works from classic literature to contemporary theatre, performance and fiction, and opens up new avenues for writing about grief, its artistics representation, and personal loss. Reanimating grief suggests that reanimations are impossible acts of revival, elegies for loss and belated expressions of love.
