Description

Patricia Pulham combines psychoanalytic theory with socio-historical criticism in her study of Vernon Lees fantastic tales. Using D.W. Winnicotts transitional object theory, Pulham argues that the past in Lees tales signifies not only an historical but a psychic past. Thus the ghosts that haunt Lees supernatural fiction held complex meanings for her that were fundamental to her intellectual development and allowed her to explore alternative identities that permit the expression of transgressive sexualities.
