The Supernatural in Literature.

Catalog description

Approaches supernatural literature from the perspective that, regardless of how bizarre or fantastical a literary work may seem, it deserves serious scholarly study because it represents the realism of apparent human experiences and provides readers with access to the inner workings of the human mind. Readings include Ambrose Bierce, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Dunsany, Fitz-James O'Brien, and contemporary writers from around the world.
