Masschelein admirably unfolds the century-long formation of an important literary concept as if she is narrating a story-albeit, a densely theoretical tale, and one more edifying as a reference than as a pleasure. Her copious notes and bibliography alone qualify this book as an important contribution to scholarship and a formidable resource for scholars working in the realm of the uncanny. - Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts The Unconcept is ambitious, meticulously researched, and, much like the Freudian term it examines, intensely self-conscious ... [it] delivers a careful diachronic analysis of a haunting theoretical concept, mapping its century-long journey to the center of our attention. - IMPACT Author InformationAnneleen Masschelein is Assistant Professor in Literary Theory and Cultural Studies at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium and Postdoctoral Researcher at the National Fund of Scientific Research, Flanders.
