Andrew Smith examines short stories, novels, poems and memoirs that employ ghosts to reflect upon feelings of loss, paralleling the literary context with accounts of shell-shock which construe the damaged soldier as psychologically missing and therefore spectre-like. The author argues that literary and non-literary texts repeatedly deploy a form of the uncanny, familiar from a Gothic tradition, as a way of reflecting upon grief. In support of this claim, he draws on fiction by well-known authors such as M. R. James, E. F. Benson, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Dennis Wheatley, alongside largely forgotten contributions to The Strand and other periodical publications such as The Occult Review."--Publisher description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 210-218) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: the ghosts of war -- The Psychology of War: Gothic and the Redirection of the Uncanny -- The Ghosts of War: Writing Trauma -- Spiritualism, War, and the Modernist Gothic -- Aftershock: Malevolent Ghosts and the problem of memory -- Conclusion: Ghostly afterlives. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre), English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Literature and the war. 650 0 $a Supernatural in literature. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre), English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01745574 650 7 $a Supernatural in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01138966 650 7 $a War and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170442 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781474443463 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023059.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A22A7340CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
