This is the first book-length study of the uncanny, an important
topic for contemporary thinking on literature, film, philosophy,
psychoanalysis, feminism and queer history. Much of this importance
can be traced back to Freud's extraordinary essay of 1919, 'The
Uncanny' (Das Unheimliche). As a ghostly feeling and concept,
however, the uncanny has a complex history going back to at least
the Enlightenment. Royle offers a detailed account of the emergence
of the uncanny, together with a series of close readings of
different aspects of the topic. Following a major introductory
historical and critical overview, there are chapters on literature,
teaching, psychoanalysis, deconstruction, film, the death drive,
deja vu, silence, solitude and darkness, the fear of being buried
alive, the double, ghosts, cannibalism, telepathy, madness and
religion. -- .
