| Publisher Description: This small collection of essays explores women's relationship with the gothic: a relationship which has, since its eighteenth-century beginnings, been complex. These essays demonstrate the scope and diversity of that relationship, as well as its intensity: the ingenuity and genius employed, the anguish experienced and the risks taken, across the artistic spectrum, in its forging.Genuinely representative of gothic's diversity, flexibility, and ubiquity, this volume brings new primary sources and new topics to the reader's attention, and will be of interest to all readers with an interest in gothic studies who want to advance their understanding of how and why women have engaged with the gothic since the eighteenth century. |
