Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s philosophy and Paul Ricœur’s tropology, this book studies the spectrality of metaphor in relation to animal figures in D.H. Lawrence’s \u003cem\u003eThe Rainbow\u003c\/em\u003e, H.D.’s \u003cem\u003eAsphodel\u003c\/em\u003e, and Virginia Woolf’s \u003cem\u003eThe Waves\u003c\/em\u003e. The analyses show that metaphor and animals alike can invite literarity—a textual hospitality toward otherness—into a work. In this, Trejling confronts the notion of metaphor as substitutional—a metaphysical idea prevalent in animal studies and the posthumanities. In challenging this perception, \u003cem\u003eMetaphor, Animals, Modernism\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrates that the spectrality of metaphor can make literature a site where readers can encounter a creature—not to name, tame, or train it, but to speak to it, and to await its response.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-01-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032131591\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-13160-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 238\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752464117900,"sku":"9783032131591","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032131591.jpg?v=1772933009","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032131591","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
