- Contents
- We will look at a selection of texts from the anthology by Cox and Gilbert (see below). There will be two main points of emphasis. On the one hand, we will examine these stories as examples of a genre, so we will explore some concepts in genre theory, especially those elaborated by the Russian formalists. On the other, we will examine them as instances of a tradition, and here we will turn to Marxist theories of literature as a source of inspiration. But there will alo be plenty of time to discuss other matters of the ghostly kind.
