Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach grounded in close reading, the text places Jacques Derrida’s work on spectrality in dialogue with particular aspects of phenomenology. The volume explores writing and culture from the 1880s to the present day, proceeding through four sections examining related questions of identity, memory, the landscape, and our modern relationship to the past. Julian Wolfreys presents a theoretically informed understanding of the efficacy of literature and culture in connecting us to the past in an affective and engaged manner.FictionLiterature, Modern19th centuryLiteraturePhilosophyFiction LiteratureNineteenth-Century LiteratureLiterary TheoryFiction.Literature, Modern19th century.LiteraturePhilosophy.Fiction Literature.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Literary Theory.820.900912Wolfreys Julian1958-856701MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300033203321Haunted selves, haunting places in English literature and culture2182327UNINA
