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: DSA; DSBD; DSBF; JFC.
