Dislocating the End examines how two concepts – catastrophe and typology – have reconceived the notion of ending. This innovation in ending has in turn gone hand in hand with innovation in genre. Focusing on Shakespeare’s King Lear, Defoe’s A Journal of the Plague Year, and Gershom Scholem’s theory of catastrophe, this book shows the implications of displaced endings for tragedy, novel, and historiography.
The series is designed to advance the publication of research pertaining to themes and motifs in literature. The studies cover cross-cultural patterns as well as the entire range of national literatures. They trace the development and use of themes and motifs over extended periods, elucidate the significance of specific themes or motifs for the formation of period styles, and analyze the unique structural function of themes and motifs.
