***AUTHOR-APPROVED*** A re-assessment of the Gothic in relation to the female, the 'feminine', feminism and post-feminism This collection of newly commissioned essays brings together major scholars in the field of Gothic studies in order to re-think the topic of 'Women and the Gothic'. The 14 chapters in this volume encompass debates about the term 'Female Gothic', the legacy of second-wave feminism, developments in the theorisation of gender and the problematics of post-feminism, including challenges from a younger generation of women. The contributors explore Gothic works - from established classics to recent films and novels - from feminist and post-feminist perspectives. The result is a lively book that combines rigorous close readings with elegant use of theory in order to question some ingrained assumptions about women, the Gothic and identity. Key Features - Revitalises the long-running debate about women, the Gothic and identity - Engages with the political agendas of feminism and post-feminism - Prioritises the concerns of woman as reader, author and critic - Offers fresh readings of both classic and recent Gothic works Avril Horner is Emeritus Professor of English at Kingston University and Sue Zlosnik is Emeritus Professor of Gothic Literature at Manchester Metropolitan University. Among the books they have co-authored are Daphne du Maurier: Writing, Identity and the Gothic Imagination and Gothic and the Comic Turn (Palgrave Macmillan, 1998 and 2005).
