Produktinformationen zu „Gothic and Gender (PDF)“
Gothic novels tell terrifying stories of patriarchal societies that
thrive on the oppression or even outright sacrifice of women and
others. Donna Heiland's Gothic and Gender offers a
historically informed theoretical introduction to key gothic
narratives from a feminist perspective.
The book concentrates primarily on fiction from the 1760s
through the 1840s, exploring the work of Horace Walpole, Clara
Reeve, Sophia Lee, Matthew Lewis, Charlotte Dacre, Charles Maturin,
Ann Radcliffe, William Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley,
John Polidori, James Malcolm Rymer, Emily Brontë, Charlotte
Brontë, Charlotte Smith, and Charles Brockden Brown. The final
chapter looks at contemporary fiction and its relation to the
gothic, including an exploration of Margaret Atwood's The
Blind Assassin and Ann-Marie Macdonald's Fall on Your
Knees
A Coda provides an overview of scholarship on the gothic,
showing how gothic gradually became a major focus for literary
critics, and paying particular attention to the feminist
reinvigoration of gothic studies that began in the 1970s and
continues today.
Taken as a whole the book offers a stimulating survey of the
representation of gender in the gothic, suitable for both students
and readers of gothic literature.
