Des spectres hantent l’Europe La reconstruction néo-victorienne du passé dans From Hell d’Alan Moore et Eddie Campbell

Being an acclaimed masterpiece of the graphic novel as a hybrid, artistic and literary form, Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s From Hell (1989-1998) retrieves the Victorian past in a complex search for the origins of present-day evils. By focusing on the Jack the Ripper murders and their historical and cultural consequences, the authors explore the anxieties and obsessions that haunted the Victorian fin de siècle from a contemporary perspective, the narrative being a paradigm of the neo-Victorian.
