The Supernatural and the Functions of the Gothic in Daphne du Maurier’s ‘The Birds’ and ‘Don’t Look Now’ Korkut Naykı, Nil (2011-05-16)
The Supernatural and the Functions of the Gothic in Daphne du Maurier’s ‘The Birds’ and ‘Don’t Look Now’ Korkut Naykı, Nil (Brill, 2012-01-01) Although the supernatural is usually an essential component of the gothic, there is significant variety in the way gothic texts employ supernatural elements.

The supernatural quest in le morte d’arthur and orlando furioso in relation to truth Campbell, Clive Malcolm; Alpakın Martınez Caro, Dürrin; Department of English Literature (2016) Over three chapters, this study compares Sir Thomas Malory’s Grail Quest from Le Morte Darthur with Ludovico Ariosto’s quest to the moon in Orlando Furioso and their presentation of truth. Both quests reflect different perspectives on the nature of truth, Malory’s version of the Grail Quest, working from a Christian perspective, consistently reflects the notion of divine truth and the absolute nature of it.
