摘要

本文通过对亨利·詹姆斯（1843-1916）的中篇小说《法戈教授》（1874）和霍尔·凯恩（1853-1931）的《饮酒：一个伟大问题上的爱情故事》（1890）的分析，探讨小说文学中对舞台催眠师的刻板印象。法戈教授和Drink都是一个文学亚类的一部分，被称为“催眠小说”、“Trance Gothic”或“催眠文本”。我的研究既考察了文学文本本身，也考察了其历史和社会背景，目的是提供新的有趣的数据，这些数据可能有助于催眠小说文学亚类的诗学或理论的发展。从这个意义上说，这篇文章是对我一直在进行的更广泛分析的重要贡献，重点是通过分析小说中催眠师的刻板印象来突出这类文学的一般特征。

Professors, Charlatans, and Spiritists: The Stage Hypnotist in Late Nineteenth-Century English Literature

In this paper I will explore the stereotype of the stage hypnotist in fiction literature through the analysis of the novellas Professor Fargo (1874) by Henry James (1843-1916) and Drink: A Love Story on a Great Question (1890) by Hall Caine (1853-1931). Both Professor Fargo and Drink form part of a literary subgenre referred to variously as “Hypnotic Fiction”, “Trance Gothic” or “mesmeric texts”. The objective of my research, which examines both the literary text itself and its historical and social context, is to offer new and interesting data that may contribute to the development of a poetics or theory of the literary subgenre of hypnotic fiction. In this sense, this article is an essential contribution to a broader analysis that I have been working on, focusing on highlighting the generic features of this type of literature by analysing the stereotypes of hypnotists in fiction.

期刊介绍： Culture & History Digital Journal features original scientific articles and review articles, aimed to contribute to the methodological debate among historians and other scholars specialized in the fields of Human and Social Sciences, at an international level. Using an interdisciplinary and transversal approach, this Journal poses a renovation of the studies on the past, relating them and dialoguing with the present, breaking the traditional forms of thinking based on chronology, diachronic analysis, and the classical facts and forms of thinking based exclusively on textual and documental analysis. By doing so, this Journal aims to promote not only new subjects of History, but also new forms of addressing its knowledge.
