Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897) is best remembered today as one of the important prac­titioners the domestic fiction, with her “Chronicles of Carlingford” series considered to be her most enduring achievement. Oliphant’s other interesting group of works are ghost stories and other spiritual tales known as the “Stories of the Seen and Unseen”. A Beleaguered City, a novella first published in 1879, is generally considered to be Oliphant’s most successful supernatural tale. Set in Semur, France, and told by five different narrators, the story focuses on the inhabitants of Semur, who are evicted from their town by the spirits of the dead. This paper aims to demonstrate that Oliphant uses the supernatural not only to cope with her own experiences of bereavement, but that she also engages with contemporary themes: she comments on gender roles, reveals the shortcom­ings of society that places its faith in progress and material wealth, and exposes the limitations of the scientific or the mechanistic worldview which cannot provide an adequate explanation of “the true signification of life”.

[for abstract in Polish, scroll down] Ilona DobosiewiczUniversity of OpoleThe Changing Canon of American Literatureand the Question of American Identity:Over Half a Century of Debate and ControversyAbstract: The article discusses the ways in which political and cultural revolution in the 1960s together with such social practices as university open admissions and affirmative action have changed the canon of American literature. It presents the factors that have led to the broadening of the canon and argues that the evolving canon of American literature no longer constructs a teleological meta-narrative of a unified tradition but instead reflects the ways in which multiple traditions and cultures engage in a dialog and influence one another.Keywords: literary theory, cultural theoryAbstrakt: Artykuł omawia zmiany jakie zachodziły w postrzeganiu pojęcia kanonu literatury amerykańskiej w wyniku rewolucji politycznej i obyczajowej lat sześćdziesiątych ubiegłego wieku oraz takich praktyk społecznych jak uniwersytecka polityka otwartych drzwi i akcja afirmatywna. Pokazje jakie czynniki doprowadziły do rozszerzenia kanonu i wskazuje, że obecny kanon literatury amerykańskiej nie konstruuje już teleologicznej meta-narracji dotyczącej jednolitej tradycji, ale pokazuje w jaki sposób różnorakie tradycje i kltury wchodzą ze sobą w dialog i wzajemnie na siebie oddziaływują.Słowa klucze: teoria literatury, teoria kultury
