Vision
and Vacancy A study of the withdrawal of authority in the fiction of J.S. Le Fanu, Vision and Vacancy follows the course of his attraction to the void, and his resistance to it, from the beginning to the end of his career. By placing his work within the appropriate contexts of early apparition narrative and modern ghost story, English and Continental novel, Walton’s study provides not only the most thorough account of the richness of his techniques but shows how cosmopolitan influences were an inescapable condition of his (Anglo-) Irishness.

Centering
on the Peripheries How do the “debatable lands” of Scandinavia and Scotland write their relations with their national centers, and with each other? How have post-colonialism and post nationalism made themselves felt in the literature of the cultural patchwork of Northern Europe? These sixteen essays trace ways to tell the stories of connections, boundaries, and localities that might go undetected by historians and artists. The literatures of the islands, borderlands, and landscapes of the North and Baltic Seas are set in dialogue with contemporary literary and socio-political approaches to the study of local, national and global cultural constellations, disrupting conventional cartographies that paint the margins as passive victims of geography or economics.
