These essays demonstrate the complexity of traumatic conditions in the realm of symbolic representations at the end of the century of totalitarianism. Among the topics covered is a discussion of the "moribund legacy of Polishness" in Joseph Conrad; vampirism as metaphor in Anne Rice''s Vampire Chronicles; and Freudian constructions of sexual malaise in Henry James'' "The Beast of the Jungle." |
| Synopsis: |

The essays demonstrate the complexity of traumatic conditions in the realm of symbolic representations at the end of the century of totalitarianism. Among the topics covered is a discussion of the "moribund legacy of Polishness" in Joseph Conrad; vampirism as metaphor in Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles;" and Freudian constructions of sexual malaise in Henry James' "The Beast of the Jungle." |
