In The Dark Thread, scholars examine a set of important and
perennial narrative motifs centered on violence within the family
as they have appeared in French, English, Spanish, and American
literatures. Over fourteen essays, contributors highlight the
connections between works from early modernity and subsequent texts
from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries, in which
incidents such as murder, cannibalism, poisoning, the burial of the
living, the failed burial of the dead, and subsequent apparitions
of ghosts that haunt the household unite “high” and “low”
cultural traditions. This book questions the traditional separation
between the highly honored genre of tragedy and the less respected
and generally less well-known genres of histoires tragiques, gothic
tales and novels, and horror stories. Published by University of
Delaware Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
