Description

The Grotesque in English Literature by Arthur Clayborough

The nature of the grotesque is a fascinating and important critical problem. This book is an attempt to throw light on the relationship between the different kinds of art–fantasy, satire, nonsense, surrealism, the macabre–in which the grotesque is to be found. Beginning with a linguistic description, and a critical account of the chief ideas about grotesque art from Scott and Hegel to the late Wolfgand Kayser, the author goes on to outline a new approach, broadly based on Jung, which is then employed in detailed studies of the grotesque in the work of Swift, Coleridge and Dickens.
