The Unnameable Monster in Literature and Film

Om The Unnameable Monster in Literature and Film

This book visits the `Thing¿ in its manifestations as an unnameable monster in literature and film, reinforcing the idea that the very essence of the monster is its excess and its unrepresentable nature. Tied primarily to the fantastic, science-fiction, gothic, and horror, the monstrous and unknowable `Thing¿ exists as a reminder of the sublime object that exceeds our worst fears and propels our most basic desires with significant social, cultural, and conceptual implications. Beville considers literature from the Romantic period to the present to examine the various strategies undertaken in literature and film in the representation of the unrepresentable.
