Books by M. Gibson

This book sets the writings of Merimee, Le Fanu, Stoker and Verne in the context in which they were written - namely the response to Balkan, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian politics. Gibson analyzes their works to reveal that the vampire acts as an allegory of the Near East through which constitutes a challenge to the 'orientalism' argument of today.

This work explores Yeats' wide ranging absorption with S.T. Coleridge. Gibson analyzes the consistent and densely woven allusions to Coleridge in Yeats' prose and poetry, arguing that the earlier poet provided him with both a model of philosopher, and an interpretation of metaphysical ideas.
