Recenzii
A thoughtful and illuminating study and one which is likely to be invaluable to anyone interested in [textuality and spectrality].
In this timely, comprehensive and smart study of Hilary Mantel's oeuvre, Arnold compellingly shows how Mantel's work is tied together by intricate situations of haunting in which ghosts of various kinds act as complex literary, political and ethical forces.
Arnold writes with striking acuity to offer innovative and exciting readings of Mantel's spectral tropes. This compellingly argued and exemplarily researched volume is certain to become a key critical work in the burgeoning field of Mantelian studies.
Reading Hilary Mantel is a meticulously researched, original, and beautifully written monograph. Lucy Arnold's sustained care and caution not to limit the potentiality of the ambiguities that lace Hilary Mantel's writing are perfectly supported by her sensitive and nuanced engagement with the thinking of pertinent critical theorists.
