Authors

Murray, Cara

Abstract

This article discusses the depiction of disaster in adventure romance stories. The author comments on the role of modernism in the adventure romance genre and suggests that disasters in stories by authors such as H. Rider Haggard, Arthur Conan Doyle and Jules Verne relate to economic development. She discusses how catastrophes affect aspects of space and time in adventure stories and comments on how a disaster represents change in the book "The Snake's Pass" by Bram Stoker.
