Travelling with Ghosts in “Winchelsea, Rye, and ‘Denis Duval’”

This essay develops a rhetorical reading of “Winchelsea, Rye, and ‘Denis Duval,’” whose reflection on the relation between travel and the spectral is structured by aposiopesis, the figure of interruption or stopping in mid-utterance. The ultimate aposiopesis is death, and aposiopesis in its tropolog...

Cet article propose une lecture rhétorique de « Winchelsea, Rye, and ‘Denis Duval,’ » texte qui est structuré par l’aposiopèse, figure de l’interruption ou du suspens, et où James en vient à s’interroger sur les relations insaisissables entre voyage et spectralité. La mort étant l’ultime aposiopèse, la figure avec ses implications tropologiques et eschatologiques constitue à la fois le sujet de l’essai et son principal procédé rhétorique. La relecture de Denis Duval par James révèle la relation étroite que le voyage entretient à ses yeux avec le spectral, la mort et l’activité tropologique de la littérature elle-même.
