Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and history of the German concept of the "uncanny," a term describing an unsettled feeling of fear and dread. The author collects and examines the meanings of the "uncanny" as understood by psychiatrists, philosophers, and literary theorists from the 18th and 19th centuries. The book details how the "uncanny" was used in the works of E. T. A. Hoffmann, one of the most famous writers of the German Romantic period. The author argues that understanding the history of the "uncanny" is critical to understanding the history of the modern gothic as a genre.
