Hosts of the living -- A loop in a mesh: May Sinclair -- Distant music: Woolf, Joyce -- Double-crossing: Elizabeth Bowen -- Conclusion: the ghostly path.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. Linking little-studied authors like M. R. James and May Sinclair to such canonical figures as Dickens, Henry James, Woolf, and Joyce, Thurston argues that the literary ghost should be seen as no mere relic of gothic style but as a portal of discovery, an opening onto the central modernist problem of how to write 'life itself'. Ghost stories should be seen as a distinctly neo-gothic genre, and as such are split between an ironic, often parodic reference to Gothic style and an evocation of 'life itself,' an implicit repudiation of all literary style. Reading the ghost story as both a guest and a host story, this book traces the ghost as a disruptive figure in the 'hospitable' space of narrative from Maturin, Poe and Dickens to the fin de siecle, and then on into the twentieth century. --Source other than Library of Congress.Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century LiteratureEnglish literature20th centuryHistory and criticismTheory, etcEnglish literature19th centuryHistory and criticismTheory, etcModernism (Literature)Great BritainGhosts in literatureEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.English literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.Modernism (Literature)Ghosts in literature.823/.087330908LIT004120LIT004180LIT004130bisacshThurston Luke.290501MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799903603321Literary ghosts from the Victorians to modernism3875919UNINA03774nam 2200745Ia 450 991096379710332120250710103521.01-136-97289-71-136-97290-01-282-58646-797866125864600-203-85192-710.4324/9780203851920(CKB)2670000000013803(EBL)496353(OCoLC)609859032(SSID)ssj0000356537(PQKBManifestationID)11274992(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000356537(PQKBWorkID)10341663(PQKB)10461478(MiAaPQ)EBC496353(Au-PeEL)EBL496353(CaPaEBR)ebr10382374(CaONFJC)MIL258646(OCoLC)649007971(FINmELB)ELB159137(EXLCZ)99267000000001380320091102d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAmerica, the UN, and decolonisation Cold War conflict in the Congo /John Kent1st ed.Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ;New York, NY Routledge20101 online resource (257 p.)LSE International Studies Series"Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada"--T.p. verso.0-415-51010-4 0-415-46414-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Book Cover; Title; Copyright; Contents; Acknowledgements; Introduction; 1 The independence disaster, 1958-September 1960; 2 The elimination of Lumumba and the establishment of the Adoula government, September 1960-August 1961; 3 The Adoula government and Kitona: The conflict and dilemmas created by US and UN policy, August-December 1961; 4 Too little too late: The failure of Kitona, January-July 1962; 5 Adoula struggles to retain power in a divided Congo, July-December 1962; 6 The end of secession and the beginning of the end for the Congo, December 1962-January 19637 Unified nation-building with no unity to build on, January-October 19638 The emerging chaos and the forces of national disintegration bring Tshombe's return, October 1963-July 1964; Conclusion; Notes; Bibliography; IndexThis book examines the role of the UN in conflict resolution in Africa in the 1960s and its relation to the Cold War.Focussing on the Congo, this book shows how the preservation of the existing economic and social order in the Congo was a key element in the decolonisation process and the fighting of the Cold War. It links the international aspects of British, Belgian, Angolan and Central African Federation involvement with the roles of the US and UN in order to understand how supplies to and profits from the Congo were producing growing African problems.
