摘要

In this comparative piece, Cheryl Blake Price traces the history of the carnivorous plant trope in the nineteenth century "from passive poisoners [to] active carnivores" (311) before exploring the different uses of man-eating plants in two examples of British Imperial Gothic fiction at the fin-de-siècle. Blake Price discusses the role of man-eating plants in Phil Robinson's "The Man-Eating Tree" (1882) and Frank Aubrey's The Devil-Tree of El Dorado (1897), elaborating on their seemingly paradoxical position as both representatives of a colonial other to be feared, and also as a gothic double for the British protagonist or the British Empire itself. She places this work in the wider context of Simon Estok's call to investigate 'ecophobia' in literature, analysing the presentation of nature in the fin-de-siècle moment of British Imperial Gothic.
