Abstract

‘In the Nightmare Country’ offers a detailed analysis of John Metcalfe’s short story, ‘The Bad Lands’ (1920), arguing that it represents an amalgam of Gothic and modernist devices and preoccupations that has significant implications for the development of twentieth-century British Gothic writing. The article considers how Metcalfe's story was shaped by Joseph Conrad and D. H. Lawrence on one hand and Freudian psychoanalysis and wartime experiences on the other. It also examines the important role played by the anthologist, Dorothy L. Sayers, in the popularisation of emerging forms of psychological gothic during the 1930s.
噩梦国度:约翰·梅特卡夫的《坏境》
《在噩梦之乡》对约翰·梅特卡夫的短篇小说《荒原》(1920)进行了详细分析,认为它代表了哥特式和现代主义手法的融合,对20世纪英国哥特式写作的发展具有重要意义。本文一方面考察了约瑟夫·康拉德和D.H.劳伦斯对梅特卡夫故事的塑造,另一方面又考察了弗洛伊德的精神分析和战争经历。它还考察了选集作家多萝西·L·塞耶斯在20世纪30年代新兴的心理哥特式形式的普及中所扮演的重要角色。

期刊介绍: The official journal of the International Gothic Association considers the field of Gothic studies from the eighteenth century to the present day. Gothic Studies opens a forum for dialogue and cultural criticism, and provides a specialist journal for scholars working in a field which is today taught or researched in academic institutions around the globe. The journal invites contributions from scholars working within any period of the Gothic; interdisciplinary scholarship is especially welcome, as are studies of works across the range of media, beyond the written word.
