Scholarly interest in Bierce, whose work has long been undervalued, has grown significantly in recent years.

Previous attempts to consider Bierce from a psychological perspective have been superficial, often reductive Freudian readings of individual stories such as “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” and “The Death of Halpin Frayser.” This new volu...
Ambrose Bierce's Civilians and Soldiers in Context
Donald T. Blume rejects the view that In the Midst of Life, the second volume of Bierce's collected works, is his most important literary work. Instead, he posits that Bierce's original 1892 collection is his most definitive and authoritative opus.

Gothic Identities
Philip Caputo hat durch seine autobiographische Erzählung über seine Zeit im Vietnamkrieg einen hohen Bekanntheitsgrad erlangt. Seine Romane, die thematisch meist ebenfalls mit dem Vietnamkrieg in Verbindung stehen, haben bisher dagegen wenig Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. Dieses Buch zielt darauf ab, Caputos Romane unter Einbeziehung von sozialer Identität, Gothic-Literatur und Kriegsliteratur in ein erweitertes literarisches Umfeld einzubetten. Es untersucht dabei die Rolle menschlicher Identität in gewaltsamen Ereignissen wie Krieg sowie die häufigen Erscheinungen von Doppelgängern und grafischen Darstellungen von Gräueltaten und entstellten menschlichen Körpern.
