From the Supernatural to the Uncanny (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527500372)

This volume is a collection of thirteen essays built around the question â ~what is the supernatural, and how, and why, has it changed over time?â (TM) It is divided into two complementary sections; the first focussing on research on the discourse of the supernatural (including the miraculous) located in the medieval and early modern eras, and the second consisting of a set of test-cases involving research on the uncanny, often articulated in a post-Freudian sense, as expressed in modern literature, film and art. The eclectic and prismatic approach pursued via a variety of test-cases of the supernatural in this book gives rise to a clear, comparative and diachronic study of the main characteristics of the supernatural.
