Dreams, Nightmares and Empty Signifiers is the first study of contemporary literary representations of the English country house. The book analyses contemporary novels, including Kazuo Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day, Ian McEwan’s Atonement and Sarah Waters’ The Little Stranger by situating them in a broader context of manorial literary tradition.
