Description

Ghosts and specters have long fascinated our culture. But why is this obsession with the supernatural so prevalent today? Merlin Coverley's Hauntology explores the history behind our fascination with the uncanny, tracing it from the Victorian era to the present day. From literary figures like Dickens and MR James to theoretical thinkers like Derrida, Coverley examines how our engagement with esoteric ideas has evolved over time. The book delves into the cultural artifacts of a past we seem unable to break free from, moving between literature, theory, visual culture, and politics. Hauntology sheds light on our nostalgia for the cultural relics of bygone eras, revealing the complex forces that drive our ongoing fascination with the supernatural.
