The Poetics and Politics of the American Gothic: Gender and Slavery in Nineteenth-Century American Literature. Agnieszka Soltysik Monnet

by
No Customer Reviews
Challenging the widely held assumption that gothic literature is mainly about fear, Agnieszka Soltysik Monnet argues that the American Gothic, and gothic literature in general, is also about judgment. Analyzing canonical works by Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Gilman, and James, Monnet persuasively argues that these authors' concerns about slavery, gender, and sexuality tacitly inform works that deal explicitly with less controversial subjects.
