New Directions in the Ghost Story, Volume I, Gebunden

Klappentext

This book provides an exciting and informed overview of new, emerging, and radical approaches to the long ghost story tradition. Interrogating established canons and recurring modes of ghost story analysis, New Directions explores where academic criticism of the genre stands today, and where it might be heading next. The first substantial project of its kind in the field, this two-volume set consists of thirty-three essays presented across two volumes, and presents fresh explorations of the forms, histories, meanings, and media of the ghost story. Volume 1 is comprised of seventeen chapters organised around two areas of enquiry: "Part I: Tradition, Theory and Genre" and "Part II: Space, Place, and the Ecospectral".
