The Dance of Spirits:Gothic Writing of Edith Wharton's Individualism
The creation of Gothic novels lasts through Wharton's writing career of over forty years.It not only demonstrates the development of her creative thoughts and techniques but also records her self-awareness at different life stags.In the context of Jung's Individualism,the speaking subjects of her Gothic novels dance with the spirits lurking in the text.They evolve from silent ladies,through self-de-ceived males into mature individuals in the conflicts between brutality and civilization,chaos and order,impulse and repression.The psychological growth process of these speaking subjects is the Gothic writing of the individualism course of Wharton,who was raised as a upper class lady confined to the old New York but finally grew into an influential American writer.
