Book Description
Life on the Texas frontier was full of hardships for a woman born to be a Southern belle. From the moment she arrived, Jenny hated the land and the weather, the people and their coarse behavior, even the cabin she was forced to live in—and the spiders and scorpions she had to share it with. For at least a hundred years since her death, Erath County residents have reported seeing Jenny’s ghost hovering near the McDow Hole on Green’s Creek. They ask themselves how Jenny’s restless spirit can still be chained to the place that caused her so much pain. How is it that she can find no answers to the questions that tormented her in life? This book, in part, tells the story from the point of view of the ghost herself.

Haunted Dreams
Author: Jenny Kaminer
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501762206
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Haunted Dreams is the first comprehensive study in English devoted to cultural representations of adolescence in Russia since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991. Jenny Kaminer situates these cultural representations within the broader context of European and Anglo-American scholarship on adolescence and youth, and she explores how Russian writers, dramatists, and filmmakers have repeatedly turned to the adolescent protagonist in exploring the myriad fissures running through post-Soviet society. Through close analysis of prose, drama, television, and film, this book maps how the adolescent hero has become a locus for multiple anxieties throughout the tumultuous years since the end of the Soviet experiment. Kaminer also directly addresses some of the pivotal questions facing scholars of post-Soviet Russia: Have Soviet cultural models been transcended? Or do they continue to dominate? The figure of the adolescent, an especially potent and enduring source of cultural mythology throughout the Soviet years, provides provocative material for exploring these questions. In Haunted Dreams, Kaminer employs a historical approach to reveal how fantasies of adolescence have mutated and remained constant across the Soviet/post-Soviet divide, focusing on violence, temporality, and gender and the body. Some of the works discussed present the possibility of salvaging the model of the heroic adolescent for a new society. Others, by contrast, relegate this figure to the dustbin of history by evoking disgust or horror, or by unmasking the tragic consequences that ensue from the combination of adolescence, violence, and fantasy.
