Abstract: | We explore how Hope Mirrlees’s Lud-in-the-Mist
(1926) influenced Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan
Strange & Mr Norrell (2004), both recovering lost
English magic as a bridge to a mythic past.
Mirrlees’s Fairyland, a forgotten yet seeping
presence, parallels Clarke’s Faerie. Their
transtextual ties reveal art as a second reality.
Lud-in-the-Mist’s elusive, dreamlike tone subtly
shapes modern fantasy, its quiet resonance felt in Clarke's intricate worldbuilding and beyond. Lud-in-the-Mist di Hope Mirrlees ha influenzato Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell di Susanna Clarke, entrambe esplorando la magia inglese perduta come ponte verso un passato mitico. La Fairyland di Mirrlees, dimenticata ma persistente, riecheggia la Faerie di Clarke. I loro legami transtestuali rivelano l'arte come una seconda realtà. L’atmosfera sfuggente e onirica di Lud modella silenziosamente il fantasy moderno, con la sua influenza percepibile nella complessa costruzione del mondo di Clarke. |
