Book Description

Gothic novels tell terrifying stories of patriarchal societies that thrive on the oppression or even outright sacrifice of women and others. Donna Heiland's Gothic and Gender offers a historically informed theoretical introduction to key gothic narratives from a feminist perspective.

The book concentrates primarily on fiction from the 1760s through the 1840s, exploring the work of Horace Walpole, Clara Reeve, Sophia Lee, Matthew Lewis, Charlotte Dacre, Charles Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, William Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley, John Polidori, James Malcolm Rymer, Emily Brontë, Charlotte Brontë, Charlotte Smith, and Charles Brockden Brown. The final chapter looks at contemporary fiction and its relation to the gothic, including an exploration of Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin and Ann-Marie Macdonald's Fall on Your Knees

A Coda provides an overview of scholarship on the gothic, showing how gothic gradually became a major focus for literary critics, and paying particular attention to the feminist reinvigoration of gothic studies that began in the 1970s and continues today.

Taken as a whole the book offers a stimulating survey of the representation of gender in the gothic, suitable for both students and readers of gothic literature.

ASIN: 063118421X

Book Description

Beginning with broad definitions of both feminism and literature, the book then sets out the key terms, concepts and approaches distinctive to feminist literary criticism. Within this theoretical framework the reader is then introduced to complicated areas of theory and debate, and to the work of such thinkers as Cixous, Irigaray, Lacan and Kristeva. In addition to description and analysis, each chapter also contains structured exercises, a summary of the main points of the chapter and a guide to further reading. The text is illustrated throughout with excerpts from poetry, prose, fiction and critical works, many of which form the basis for close readings using the approaches and techniques described. The author also provides a glossary to terms used in the book.

Book Description

Elizabeth Fay's original and lively book introduces the student to the issues most important for feminist analyses of Romantic literature. It begins with an account of key positions for mainstream and feminist scholarship in Romantic studies. Then, focusing on the issue of the canon, as raised for example by a revisory anthology such as Duncan Wu's volume in the Blackwell Anthology series, it shows how feminist analyses can be brought to bear, radically to alter the way we read traditional canonical works.

A wide variety of feminist strategies are applied to key texts, providing students with historical contexts and critical paradigms for application and development in their own work. Fay's book shows just why we should use feminist theory and makes clear how startling the consequences of this are for Romantic literature as a whole.
