520 |a This book provides a theoretically informed account of Gothic Hauntology. It is distinctive foremost in two ways. It shows hauntology at work in modern as well as older gothic narratives and it has a unique focus on everyday gothic as well as everyday hauntology. The chapters perform a historical circle going from Munro to Poe and then back again, offering novel readings of works by well-known authors that are contextualized under the umbrella of the theme. Anchored in a well-known topic and genre, but with a specific phenomenological framework, this book will be of interest to both students and more advanced scholars. Author Bio: Joakim Wrethed is Associate Professor at Stockholm University, Sweden. He has hitherto mainly worked in Irish Studies—especially on John Banville—but he has also published on the gothic genre
