ISBN: 0812233514 ISBN-13: 9780812233513 Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press Anniversary OUR PRICE: $80.70 Product Type: Hardcover Published: March 1997 Annotation: Rife with sexuality, chaos, confusion, and terror, the Gothic has seemed to many of its recent readers to be a subversive genre, resisting enforced gender constructions or straitened notions of rationality, disinterring that which has been forbidden or repressed. In "Alien Nation" Cannon Schmitt moves away from these models of the genre to chart, instead, the ways in which Gothic fictions and conventions gave shape to a sense of English nationality during the century in which British imperial power was stretching out its greatest reach. |
