Abstract:

The problem of encounter – meeting/conflict of the “own” and the “alien” became especially actual in Anglo-American literature of the end of the XIXth century due to the increasing tension in relations between the newly-born American nation and Old Europe on the threshold of World War I. The brightest examples of encounter depiction are revealed in the works by O. Wilde (The Canterville ghost), H. James (Daisy Miller) and M. Twain (Innocents abroad).This study concentrates on the analysis of three works with the similar plot-lines – the arrival of American “innocents”, having “new”, free-from-prejudice, pragmatic and down-to-earth life approach, to the Old World where they have to face the “old”, traditional cultural and moral values. Special attention is paid to O. Wilde’s complication of the subject-matter of his story due to the specific choice of the main character – a supernatural being. Thus, the range of problems in “The Canterville ghost” increases from the real conflict of the English (“own”) and the American (“alien”) to the encounter of the material and the ideal, of poetical literary world of fantasy and romance and reality.The researcher makes the conclusion that the works represent three different views on the encounter problem and the ways of its solution, influenced by the writers’ origin and their own interest in the certain party of the encounter which they belonged to by birth – “English” (O. Wilde), “transatlantic” (H. James) and “American” (M. Twain). H. James’ view appears to be the most pessimistic – the compromise of the “own” and the “alien” is impossible. M. Twain’s innocents admit the great value of the Old World’s cultural achievements. However, their victory over utilitarian attitude to life is an isolated case contrasting with overall pragmatism. O. Wilde’s view seems to be the most positive: his characters return to the Old World’s historical and cultural traditions and to the wonderful poetic world created by the European literature. However, the story itself is presented in a form of ironic, parodical play with the clichés of Gothic literature which shows artificiality and illusiveness of the depicted events and impossibility of their embodiment in real life.

Abstract:

In 1885, the British Parliament passed the Labouchere Amendment, which criminalized unspecified acts of “gross indecency” between men. This was the law that, when E.M. Forster was sixteen, sent Oscar Wilde to prison. This situation had a profound impact upon Forster, leading him to conceal his sexual orientation for the remainder of his life. So, although Forster wrote Maurice, a novel about a romantic relationship between two men, in 1913, he withheld its publication until after his death. After abandoning Maurice, Forster—previously a prolific novelist—lapsed into a decade-long silence that finally ended with the publication of his final novel, A Passage to India, in 1924. Critics conventionally discuss A Passage to India in relation to such central and recurring themes in Forster’s canon as the tension between social classes, racial conflict under British Colonialism, and the limitations of conventional gender roles. Yet, A Passage to India also specially reimagines, reconfigures, and sublimates the overtly homosexual novel that Forster could not publish in his lifetime. The ghost of Maurice haunts A Passage to India, determining such elements as its portrayals of relationships (platonic, romantic, or merely complicated) between men and its depictions of women as upholders of social conventions, catalysts to the breakdown of male relationships, and secret keepers. A Passage to India, then, is a palimpsest of Maurice, a story of colonial India written over the erasure of an openly gay love story but with subtle traces of the original remaining. Keywords: E.M. Forster, palimpsest, intertextuality, homosexuality

Abstract:

This thesis explores Oscar Wilde's influence on the British ghost story at the fin-de-siècle and the early years of the twentieth century. Arguing that Wilde's influence is reflected in the frequently occuring topos of haunted artworks in supernatural fiction, the thesis begins by establishing the significance of the Wildean haunted artwork in relation to Wilde-as-cultural-figure, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Decadence, and the public conception of the male homosexual that would emerge in the wake of the Wilde trials. The succeeding chapters of the thesis examine the manner in which haunted artworks featured in ghost stories by Henry James, M.R. James, E.F. Benson, Robert Hichens, and E.M. Forster respond to Wilde, and the manner in which these stories address anxieties over male same-sex desire.
Cette thèse explore l'influence d'Oscar Wilde sur les récits surnaturels britanniques durant la période de "fin de siècle" et au début du vingtième siècle. Soutenant que l'influence de Wilde est évidente dans le topos de l'oeuvre d'art hanté dans les récits surnaturels, la thèse établit d'abord l'importance et la signification de l'œuvre art hanté en relation avec la représentation sociale de Wilde en tant que personnalité culturelle, le roman Le portrait de Dorian Gray, le mouvement du décadentisme ainsi que la conception publique de l'homosexualité masculine qui émerge dans le sillage des procès de Wilde. Les chapitres suivants de la thèse examinent la façon dont certaines représentations de l'oeuvre d'art hanté retrouvées dans les récits surnaturels de Henry James, M.R. James, E.F. Benson, Robert Hichens et E.M. Forster relèvent de l'influence d'Oscar Wilde – et également la façon dont ces récits abordent les angoisses et inquiétudes liées au désir homosexuel masculin.
