Why has experiencing a nightmare under the guise of reading a novel, watching a film or playing a video game become a persistent requirement of contemporary mass culture? By answering these questions, which have not been addressed by literary criticism and cultural studies, we can interpret anew the texts of classic authors. Charles Maturin, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Thomas Mann, Howard Philips Lovecraft and Victor Pelevin carry out bold experiments on their heroes and readers as they seek to investigate the nature of nightmare in their works. This book examines their prose to reveal the unstudied features of the nightmare as a mental state and traces the mosaic of coincidences leading from literary experiments to today?s culture of nightmare consumption. 410 0$aRussian history and culture (Leiden, Netherlands) ;$vv. 10. 606 $aNightmares in literature 606 $aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aNightmares in literature. 615 0$aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.93353 676 $a809/.93353 700 $aKhapaeva$b Dina$01575501 701 $aTweddle$b Rosie$01575502 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786437003321 996 $aNightmare$93852511 997 $aUNINA
