En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on the intersection of theology and literature, this book explores how Victorian ghost stories reflect a theological journey experienced by their protagonists. It challenges the conventional view of these tales as mere reflections of a society grappling with agnosticism, instead highlighting theological concepts from figures like St. Augustine to contemporary thinkers. By analyzing works from notable authors such as Arthur Machen and M.R. James, it also introduces a theory of reader participation that invites a suspension of modern epistemology.
