Description

Explore the connection between ghost stories, history, and the development of a gendered self in this scholarly monograph. By comparing late nineteenth-century literary traditions from China and Britain, this work examines how ghost stories function during times of social anxiety and tension with orthodox narratives. The book provides a cross-cultural investigation into how marginalized groups and shifting histories influence storytelling. It focuses on the lives and writings of four specific authors: Xuan Ding ( ) and Wang Tao ( ) from China, alongside Vernon Lee and E. Nesbit from Britain. This comparative study offers deep insights into the cultural dynamics of two distinct literary traditions during a transformative era. Perfect for students and scholars of comparative literature, history, and gender studies, this Routledge publication provides a detailed look at how supernatural fiction reflects the social and political changes of the late nineteenth century.
