商品簡介
Whitehead (Russian, U. of St. Andrews, Scotland) investigates the literary genre of the fantastic as it was practiced in the two countries during the rise of the novel and the grand narrative. Investigating both production and reception, she analyzes the devices and techniques it uses to produce hesitation in the mind of the reader, and explores how those mechanics frustrate the reader's search for unambiguous knowledge and definitive interpretation. Dostoevskii, Gautier, Gogol de Maupassant, and Pushkin are among the authors. Distributed in the US by the David Brown Book Company. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
