In this essay I will present a stylestudy of he New Zeeland born author Katherine Mansfield, 1888 - 1923 and american master of horror, Stephen King, born 1947. The main focus is to analyze how they use the literary tools of time, place and focalisation and to make a literary experiment where I practise the learnings I have made. I will try to answer how the authors use time, place and focalisation in the novels? In my literary experiment, can I find the differences and similarities? I have studied two shortstorys: Katherine Mansfields The Garden Party and from Stephen King, 1922.I read my first short story from Mansfield and King more than twenty years ago and over the years they have stayed in my memory as strong and positive experiences of reading. My aim is to learn more about the author's style with special attention to time, place and focalisation. The tools for this is studies of their works in connection to these three concepts and a literary experiment where I try to mimic the authors. In this my work I have found similarities and differencies between the two authors. Differencies coming from the different times when they write: Mansfield from early 1900 modernism and romanticism and King contemporary literature and horror. I have deepened my understanding of place and time and captured new knowledge about focalization, a term that was new to me as I started the course. Both authors write chronologically over different timespace (one day and a decade). They use dialogue, both internal and external. They switch between external nd internal/varied internal focalization wich makes the novels fascinating and intriguing. I have found that is is possible to cross the style of the tho authors and create a credible story.

Annotation:

The purpose of this thesis is to explore a set of key issues and themes in the fiction of Stephen King, and then to present, in the form of a creative extract, a demonstration of an imaginative engagement with those same literary preoccupations mapped out in that opening critical section. This thesis is thus divided into two parts. The first part, 'Critical Encounters', explores through an interconnected series of close readings a selection of novels and novellas that circle around questions of suffering and survival. Chapter One, 'Monsters by Design', looks closely at Carrie (1974), The Shining (1977), and Misery (1987), among other texts, in order to define King's human monsters and investigate the episodes of domestic violence that are among his most terrifying scenes. Chapter Two, 'Retrospection of Abuse', uses 'The Body', a novella in Different Seasons (1982), as a core text to examine King's use of abuse and abusive characters as a means of defining character and assigning motivation for further violent tendencies. Chapter Three, 'Remorse and Resurrection', examines the influence of science and religious faith in terms of mourning the loss of loved ones. Chapter Four, 'The Selfish Apparition', a detailed engagement with Bag of Bones (1998), delves into the meanings behind the appearance of ghostly apparitions and suggests they may be less para-psychological and more psychoanalytical in nature. The second part, 'Creative Engagement', demonstrates the influence King's writing has had on my own work by providing an extract from a new novel, Without Warning, a sequel to my first book, Summer of the Cicada (Jonathan Cape, 2005). Without Warning is a unique experiment for me, as it has been written not only in the wake of the literary works of King - which have long exerted an influence on me as a writer and as one of his 'constant readers' - but in the light of a sustained period of research and reflection on King as a writer. Being in the midst of a critical and creative immersion in King, including his own accounts of his craft as well as interviews and essays by other scholars, has shaped my writing and made me mediate on my craft in a way I had not done before. This thesis then is both a study of aspects of the fiction of one of America's foremost storytellers, and an example of an emerging writer grappling with the fiction and criticism of a major influence.

Annotation:

The goal of my thesis is to analyze physical and moral survival in three novels from King's oeuvre. Scholars have attributed survival in King's universe to factors such as innocence, imaginative capacity, and career choice. Although their arguments are convincing, I believe that physical and moral survival ultimately depends on a character's knowledge of the dark side of human nature and an understanding of moral agency. I have chosen three novels that span several decades of Kings work-'Salem's Lot, Needful Things, and Desperation-to illustrate the relationship between knowledge and survival. In 'Salem's Lot, King uses the main character's interest in the horror genre to emphasize the importance of an exposure to the dark side of human nature. In Needful Things, King vividly shows the dire consequences of naiveté, or in other words, uneducated innocence. Desperation represents a culmination of King's ideas. The final novel in my analysis shows the power of youth tempered by knowledge of human nature and informed by religious conviction. King links religion and horror to show the power of both in religious survival and to show the ultimate morality of horror.

Annotation:

While most research in King studies focuses on Stephen King’s contribution to the horror genre, this thesis approaches King as a participant in American popular culture, specifically exploring the role the author-protagonist plays in his writing about writing. I have chosen Bourdieu’s theoretical construct of habitus through which to focus my analysis into not only King’s narratives, but also into his non-fiction and paratextual material: forewords, introductions, afterwords, interviews, reviews, articles, editorials and unpublished archival documents. This has facilitated my investigation into the literary field that King participates within, and represents in his fiction, in order to provide insight into his perception of the high/low cultural divide, the autonomous and heteronomous principles of production and the ways in which position-taking within that field might be effected. This approach has resulted in a study that combines the methods of literary analysis and book history; it investigates both the literary construct and the tangible page. King’s part autobiography, part how-to guide, On Writing (2000), illustrates the rewards such an approach yields, by indicating four main ways in which his perception of, and participation in, the literary field manifests: the art/money dialectic, the dangers inherent in producing genre fiction, the representation of art produced according to the heteronomous principle and the relationship between popular culture and the Academy. The texts which form the focus of the case studies in this thesis, The Shining, Misery, The Dark Half, Bag of Bones and Lisey’s Story demonstrate that there exists a dramatisation of King’s habitus at the level of the narrative which is centred on the figure of the author-protagonist. I argue that the actions of the characters Jack Torrance, Paul Sheldon, Thad Beaumont, Mike Noonan and Scott Landon, and the situations they find themselves in, offer an expression of King’s perception of the literary field, an expression which benefits from being situated within the context of his paratextually articulated pronouncements of authorship, publication and cultural production.

Annotation:

In this essay, I am analysing and discussing the possibility of didactic intention and message in the intertextual analysis. The main focus is to connect the intertextual analysis to the Swedish and English curriculum in the Swedish secondary school. Thus, in the analysis, I have used Stephen King’s novels The Gunslinger (I), The Waste Lands(III) and The Dark Tower(VII), and searched for intertextual citations, allusions, and references to the two poets T.S Eliot and Robert Browning. In conclusion, I have found intertexts to Eliot’s The Waste Land and Browning’s Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came. However, the strongest connection has been found in Eliot, and therefore the intertextual analysis of the novels has its main focus on King’s use of Eliot’s The Waste Land in The Dark Tower-novels, and how these intertexts can be interpreted and used in the Swedish secondary school. The intention of the essay is to encourage the use of more methods whilst teaching literature and hopefully foster students to look at literature with more curiosity. The analysis is made with the prospect of bringing more perspectives to the already scientifically based methods that are used in the Swedish secondary school.

Annotation:

Throughout his career, Stephen King has created child protagonists and adults with a childlike acceptance of the world who represent “good.” These children and adults are able to observe and fight evil, especially supernatural evil, on a level that close-minded adults are unable to because of their imagination. At the same, King also has a history of adhering to traditional representations of sex in his work, presenting heteronormative relationships as good and transgressive sexualities as evil. Often, these child protagonists are faced with sexuality as a threatening, evil force. In The Shining, Danny Torrance undergoes a forced sexual awakening that aids him in defeating the Overlook Hotel; in ’Salem’s Lot, Mark Petrie is represented as a virginal hero who helps Ben Mears in defeating vampires, yet suffers as a result; in It, King aligns seven children’s journey to defeat evil with their literal sexual awakenings, but at the cost of his female characters. These novels represent a disconnect between what appear to be King’s purpose in sexual representation and what their message to the reader actually are, which is indicative of the underlying problems of his traditional, black-and-white attitude toward sexuality in his fiction.

Annotation:

La littérature est une source d'où jaillissent les flots intarissables du paradoxe ; c'est dans cet entrelacement de dichotomies que nous nous sommes immergées pour percevoir l'unité sous-jacente derrière l'oxymore que constitue le titre de notre thèse : " une poétique de l'abjection dans la littérature gothique américaine postmoderne. " Si nous nous sommes tournées vers Stephen King, Peter Straub et Chuck Palahniuk et avons mis l'accent sur trois de leurs œuvres précises, notre démonstration se veut être transposable à l'ensemble de leurs écrits. Nous nous sommes interrogées sur la nature de l'abjection et sur sa prééminence dans une société américaine portant le sceau du puritanisme. Marqués par le Romantisme et le Gothique anglais, nos auteurs ont su donner aux thématiques caractérisant ces mouvements une voie nouvelle. Situer nos œuvres dans la lignée du gothique postmoderne nous permet d'osciller sur le paradigme de l'excès et de l'incomplétude, de la déconstruction et de l'unité. Le thème de la fragmentation apparaît comme l'un des fils d'Ariane permettant aux auteurs de tisser autour des lecteurs leur toile arachnéenne. Ce démantèlement qui affecte à la fois la dimension narrative et thématique des récits contribue à leur effet patchwork et subversif, nous liant à notre problématique postmoderne. Les paradoxes engendrés par nos récits leur donnent leur force et expliquent leur fascination sur le public. Nos pérégrinations menant à l'ouverture des différentes portes de l'interprétation révèlent que l'abjection devient source d'une nouvelle esthétique. Le laid peut véhiculer de la beauté et du sublime. L'harmonie qui existe dans le monde de la déchéance qui nous est dépeint explique l'emprise hypnotique de la littérature de l'abjection sur le lecteur. Source de poétique, celle-ci procure un plaisir de la lecture quasi jouissif pour ceux qui se laissent transporter par la magie créatrice de nos auteurs.

Annotation:

Splatterpunk was a short-lived, but explosive horror literary movement birthed in the 1980’s that utilized graphic depictions of violence in its prose. Drawing parallels to other subversive and radical art movements like Dada and Hardcore Punk, this paper examines through a Marxist lens how Splatterpunk, influenced by the destructive nature of 1980’s neoliberalism, reflected the violence, categorized as direct and structural, of its period of creation and used extreme vulgarity as an act of rebellion against traditional horror canon.
