Viac o knihe

Exploring the interplay of myth and history in postcolonial Irish novels, this study by Matthew Schultz delves into the concept of the spectre as a non-present presence. It analyzes how Irish fiction reflects historical events and cultural memory, offering a theoretical framework for understanding the haunting influences in literature. By examining the rhetorical hauntings in these narratives, the work provides insights for literary historians and cultural critics on how novelists engage with and reinterpret historical narratives.
