Le fantastique dans A Name for Evil :
Étude de cas
Abstract.
Andrew Lytle's gothic tale of a Revolutionary major and his two ghosts fits
into the writer's
overall vision of the Old World's conquest and exploitation of the New.
Begun in conscious imitation of Henry James's The Turn
of the Screw, it soon, however, escaped the writer's purpose to stand on its
own as a genuine work of the uncanny, replete with all the topoï
of the genre. These are being analysed in the present article.
