Description
Queering the Gothic explores the intersection of Gothic criticism and queer theory through a diverse range of texts produced between the eighteenth century and the present. This collection brings together contributions from leading scholars in both fields, examining how conjunctions of "queer", "gay", and "lesbian" can be related to and challenged by a Gothic tradition. The book considers a range of texts, including novels and non-text media such as Michael Jackson's pop videos, and establishes links between them chronologically. This reassessment of the Gothic tradition offers new insights into how queer theory can inform our understanding of this complex literary genre. With specially commissioned chapters from prominent academics in both fields, Queering the Gothic is a significant contribution to scholarship on queer theory and an important reassessment of the Gothic tradition.
