- Description:
- In this dissertation, I analyze the representations of the theme of horror in the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Horacio Quiroga, and Alfonso Hernandez-Cat. In my research, I have also analyzed the representation of the themes of death and madness that are germane to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Horacio Quiroga, and Alfonso Hern-ndez-Cat. My analysis of their works explores psychological horror, domestic horror, madness, and death, in the works of the aforementioned authors. This dissertation proceeds from the premise that the narratives of writers such as Alfonso Hernandez-Cat are obscure in the research foci but remain germane to the topic of study in the linkages that seem to exist between madness and death in literature.
