This book, however, uses theological ideas from St Augustine through to modern theologians to identify a theological journey taken by the protagonists of such stories, and charts each stage of this journey through the short stories it examines. It also proposes a theory of reader participation which creates an imaginary space in which modern epistemology is suspended. The book studies the work of four major authors of the supernatural tale: Arthur Machen, M.R. James, Sheridan Le Fanu and Henry James.. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Religion; Gothic; Supernatural; Henry James; Sheridan Le Fanu; Arthur Machen; M R James; British and Irish | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-30219-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-80754-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-30219-5 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
