Description

This Routledge monograph examines late nineteenth-century ghost stories from China and Britain to reveal how ghost story writing shaped history-making and gendered identity during a period of social anxiety and marginalisation. Through comparative analysis of works by Xuan Ding, Wang Tao, Vernon Lee, and E. Nesbit, the book traces entangled dynamics between literary tradition and cultural tension with orthodox narratives. The study bridges two distinguished literary traditions, offering fresh insight into how ghost stories functioned as vehicles for exploring identity, social change, and historical consciousness across Eastern and Western contexts during the nineteenth century.

Key Features

The Perturbed Self compares ghost story traditions from late nineteenth-century China and Britain to uncover cross-cultural patterns in how literature shaped gendered identity.

Examines four innovative writers - Xuan Ding, Wang Tao, Vernon Lee, and E. Nesbit - whose works illuminate the relationship between ghost stories and history-making.

Explores how ghost stories associated with times of anxiety and marginalised groups challenged orthodox narratives and cultural conventions.

Part of Routledge Studies in Chinese Comparative Literature and Culture series, providing scholarly analysis of literary movements and critical theory.
