Julia Kristeva has claimed that modernity can be characterised as 'the first epoch in human history in which human beings attempt to live without religion'. Does this mean then that 'supernatural' is also well-nigh defunct as a category? This collection of essays, by members of the English Department in Maynooth, considers the manifestations of the supernatural (or supra-natural) not just in modern works but in earlier writings from medieval times and from the nineteenth century. The variety of topics is matched by a diversity of approach: the result is a kaleidoscopic presentation in which the supernatural, broadly defined, is considered either directly or obliquely as it offers itself for documentation, analysis and critique in literature, cultural history and film.
