dc.description.abstractThe discussed Neo-Victorian works, John Harwood’s The Séance (2008) and Sarah Waters’s Affinity (1999) aim to reimagine and rediscover Victorian culture, in order to unveil the manners in which this period continues to influence our ideals and values in the present. Trends in contemporary criticism shifted towards the idea of hauntology, the study of the past and its subsequent effects on individuals, societies or even ideologies. In literature, novels are often revisiting times that are long past, not only as a form of escapism, but also to uncover what was before considered unspeakable. In history, historicists have grown aware of the importance of historical context, thus seeing current events in the light of continuity, as a result of occurrences of the past. These grand ideas are placed into motion through the ideal of the Victorian family, and mystified through the curtain of spiritualism, which plays a significant role in the novels that the thesis will take into consideration.hu_HU
