Beschreibungen/Notizen
In line with his "sympathetic" orientation to spiritualist practices of communication between the living and the dead, Johnson favors a harmonizing view of psychic and social divisions, although he acknowledges the limits of repair in some cases (3). [...]he reports that Myers, Lodge, and Doyle continue to contact the living through spirit mediums (121). [...]he develops an intriguing discussion of Doyle's famous detective Sherlock Holmes in terms of his avoidant-resistant behaviors and mystical impulses; on the other hand, his inquiries into Owen's spectral tropes and veiled representations of homosexuality omit contexts crucial to comprehension of the war poems. [...]Mourning and Mysticism provides an idiosyncratic but suggestive investigation of the composite cultures of mourning that preceded and followed the First World War.
