Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s philosophy and Paul Ricœur’s tropology, this book studies the spectrality of metaphor in relation to animal figures in D.H. Lawrence’s \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eThe Rainbow\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                        , H.D.’s \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eAsphodel\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                        , and Virginia Woolf’s \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eThe Waves\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                        . The analyses show that metaphor and animals alike can invite literarity—a textual hospitality toward otherness—into a work. In this, Trejling confronts the notion of metaphor as substitutional—a metaphysical idea prevalent in animal studies and the posthumanities. In challenging this perception, \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eMetaphor, Animals, Modernism\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                         demonstrates that the spectrality of metaphor can make literature a site where readers can encounter a creature—not to name, tame, or train it, but to speak to it, and to await its response.\n                \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783032131591\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecters of Literarity\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783032131591","offer_id":57268576190789,"sku":"9783032131591","price":128.39,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/40ce777e-cb91-4f55-809c-fab017a2986e.jpg?v=1773380640","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/metaphor-animals-modernism-von-maria-trejling","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
