From Sylvia Plath’s depictions of the Holocaust as a group of noncohering “bits” to AIDS elegies’ assertions that the dead posthumously persist in ghostly form and Susan Howe’s insistence that the past can be conveyed only through juxtaposed “scraps,” the condition of being too late is one that haunts post-World War II American poetry. This is a poetry saturated with temporal delay, partial recollection of the past, and the revelation that memory itself is accessible only in obstructed and manipulated ways. These postwar poems do not merely describe the condition of lateness: they enact it literally and figuratively by distorting chronology, boundary, and syntax, by referring to events indirectly, and by binding the condition of lateness to the impossibility of verifying the past. The speakers of these poems often indicate that they are too late by repetitively chronicling distorted events, refusing closure or resolution, and forging ghosts out of what once was tangible. Ghostly Figures contends that this poetics of belatedness, along with the way it is bound to questions of poetic making, is a central, if critically neglected, force in postwar American poetry. Discussing works by Sylvia Plath, Adrienne Rich, Jorie Graham, Susan Howe, and a group of poets responding to the AIDS epidemic, Ann Keniston draws on and critically assesses trauma theory and psychoanalysis, as well as earlier discussions of witness, elegy, lyric trope and figure, postmodernism, allusion, and performance, to define the ghosts that clearly dramatize poetics of belatedness throughout the diverse poetry of post–World War II America.

Ghosts have made an unexpected reappearance in German literature since 1989. Catherine Smale reads this as symptomatic of writers' attempts to renegotiate their personal and collective identity in the wake of German reunification. Focusing on two major authors from the former GDR, Christa Wolf and Irina Liebmann, Smale examines the ways in which their work adopts notions of haunting in its creative engagement with the double legacy of Socialism and National Socialism. The ghost has long been regarded as a vehicle for making manifest taboo or unauthorized memories. However, Smale goes further, demonstrating how the human subject is destabilized by the return of the phantom and is itself rendered insecure and spectral. Drawing on a wide range of theoretical reference, from the psychoanalytic concept of intergenerational phantoms to Derridean hauntology, Smale's study highlights the particular challenge which Wolf and Liebmann pose to the familiar understanding of how German writers have confronted their country's troublesome past.Catherine Smale is Lecturer in German at King's College London.

Ghosts and demons are integral to folklore all over the world. India is no exception in that case. You may find the reference given to them in many literatures on religion and philosophy. When we look a little more in-depth at the subject, we will find some distinguished ghostly figures with some specific powers (or you can say traits) assigned to them. In this book, you will find tales of ghosts inspired by real encounters experienced by certain people. Some specific ghost figures have also been described at the end of the book. A short story from the book: In the middle of the night in December, a man driving a car on a deserted highway spotted a lonely woman asking for help. The man stopped the car and asked what the problem was. She explained that she lived in a nearby village; her husband had left her there 2 hours ago when they were returning from the town on a motorcycle. He had promised he would return soon, but still hadn’t. She wanted to return to the house as soon as possible and ask about her husband. The driver agreed to give her a lift home. The woman sat on the passenger side and he began to drive. They spoke for a few minutes, then there was silence. About half an hour later, the man asked, "how far away is your village now?" There was no response. He repeated the question, and then turned his head to the passenger. He was astonished to discover that the lady had disappeared. The vanishing spirit has been a popular subject for the tales of ghosts found across entire India. Many people claim that they have encountered a person vanishing from their car.
