More about the book
The exploration of living-dead characters in the works of Balzac, Zola, and Baudelaire reveals how industrialization and modernization cannot erase the past. Through vivid examples like a communicating skeleton during shopping, ancestral possession, and haunting ghosts, Dorothy Kelly analyzes the multifaceted representations of living death. Her in-depth readings uncover the significance of these images, illustrating how they disrupt contemporary narratives and reflect deeper themes within the literature of this transformative period.
