Through eleven exciting essays, the collection demonstrates how unseen but vital relationships among plants and their life systems can reflect and inform human behaviours and actions. In these entertaining essays, human and vegetal agency is interpreted through ecocritical and ecoGothic investigation of uncanny manifestations in gardens - hauntings, psychic encounters, monstrous hybrids, fairies and ghosts - with plants, greenhouses, granges, mansions, lakes, lawns, flowerbeds and trees as agents and sites of uncanny developments. The collection represents the forefront of ecoGothic critical debate and will be welcomed by specialists in environmental humanities at every level, as a timely, innovative inclusion in ecoGothic studies."--Publisher's website. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $g 11 $t Blackwater Park and the haunting of Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White / $r Adrian Tait. $g 2 $t 'Diabolic clouds over everything' : an ecoGothic reading of John Ruskin's garden at Brantwood / $r Caroline Ikin -- $g 3 $t The Gothic orchard of the Victorian imagination / $r Joanna Crosby -- $g 4 $t Gothic Eden : gardens, religious tradition and ecoGothic exegesis in Algernon Blackwood's 'The Lost Valley' and 'The Transfer' / $r Christopher M.
