Caracteristici

In these three semi-nightmarish tales, an uncanny other turns out to be a second self, a sharer of intimate anxieties, repressed energies, dark impulses.
Illuminated by materials ranging from Shelley’s poetry, Darwin’s confrontation with strange aliens in South America, Stevenson’s writing on dreams, and Conrad’s writing on fiction, as well as reviews and critical reactions, this volume will fascinate students of psychology, fiction, and the darker precincts of nineteenth-century literary imagination.
