Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
Here is the rephrased text:
The book employs a comparative study approach, drawing upon two distinct traditions of supernatural literature from the East and the West, and purposefully diverging from the customary Anglo-American bias in Gothic studies. By engaging in this dialogue, the book seeks to empower the marginalized members of both Chinese and British societies during periods of transition. Furthermore, it provides a timely and insightful explication of the symbolism and power dynamics surrounding the female ghost in Chinese culture, offering a valuable comparison with its Western counterpart. Additionally, the book sheds light on a lesser-known facet of the oeuvre of renowned late nineteenth-century writers, enriching our understanding of the complexities of lives and experiences during transitional times.
