内容説明

To compare Britain and Japan over the course of the last century is to juxtapose two societies at very different stages of development. This being the case, the two countries still have many similarities including established systems of ritual and religious belief, empire and nationality, education and large scale participation in two world wars. The application of Halsey's model when comparing Britain and Japan creates a comprehensive analysis of two seemingly different countries evolving in the same international environment.

内容説明

A Familiar Compound Ghost explores the relationship between allusion and the uncanny in literature. An unexpected echo or quotation in a new text can be compared to the sudden appearance of a ghost or mysterious double, the reanimation of a corpse, or the discovery of an ancient ruin hidden in a modern city. In this scholarly and suggestive study, Brown identifies moments where this affinity between allusion and the uncanny is used by writers to generate a particular textual charge, where uncanny elements are used to flag patterns of allusion and to point to the haunting presence of an earlier work. A Familiar Compound Ghost traces the subtle patterns of connection between texts centuries, even millennia apart, from Greek tragedy and Latin epic, through the plays of Shakespeare and the Victorian novel, to contemporary film, fiction and poetry. Each chapter takes a different uncanny motif as its focus: doubles, ruins, reanimation, ghosts and journeys to the underworld. -- .
