Literature: history & criticism

Hardcover. This book argues that Gothic writing of the Romantic period is queer. Using a variety of texts, it argues that contemporary queer theory can help us to read the obliqueness and invisibility of same-sex desire in a culture of vigilance. Fincher shows how the Gothic's ambivalent gender politics destabilize heteronormative narratives. Num Pages: 211 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 2AB; 5S; DSBF.
