In what ways can authors in the nineteenth century be read so as to acknowledge the various phantom effects which return within their texts ? In what ways do the traces of such " ghost writing " surface in the works of Dickens, Tennyson, Eliot and Hardy ? How does the work of spectrality, revenance and the uncanny transform materially both the forms of the literary in the Victorian era and our reception of it today? Beginning with an expoloration of matters of haunting, the uncanny, the gothic and the spectral, Julian Wolfreys traces the ghostly resonances at work in Victorian writing and how such persistence addresses isues of memory and responsibility which haunt the work of reading..‘Taking the familiar genre of the Gothic as a point of departure and revisiting it through Derridean theory, Wolfreys‘ book, the first application of "hauntology" to the domain of Victorian Studies is a remarkable achievement. Wolfreys never reduces reading to instrumentality but remains alert to all the potentialities o | 出版日期 | Textbook 2002Latest edition | 关键词 | Charles Dickens; Comic; English literature; fragment; George Eliot; gothic; knowledge; literature; memory; op | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4039-1358-6 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2002 |
