Opis

Metaphor is of vital concern to the discipline of literary studies as well as the field of animal studies. Drawing on Jacques Derrida s philosophy and Paul Ric ur s tropology, this book studies the spectrality of metaphor in relation to animal figures in D.H. Lawrence s The Rainbow, H.D. s Asphodel, and Virginia Woolf s The Waves. 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, Metaphor, Animals, Modernism 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.
