Gina Wisker – ‘Contemporary Women’s Gothic Fiction’ Book

$20.41

This book revives and revitalizes the literary Gothic in the hands of contemporary women writers. It makes a scholarly, lively, and convincing case that the Gothic makes horror respectable and establishes contemporary women’s Gothic fictions in and against traditional Gothic.

The book provides new, engaging perspectives on established contemporary women Gothic writers, with a particular focus on Angela Carter, Margaret Atwood, and Toni Morrison. It explores how the Gothic is malleable in their hands and is used to demythologize oppressions based on the difference in gender and ethnicity.

The study presents new Gothic work and new nuances, critiques of dangerous complacency, and radical questionings of what is safe and conformist in works as diverse as ‘Twilight’ (Stephenie Meyer) and ‘A Girl Walks Home Alone’ (Ana Lily Amirpur), as well as by Anne Rice and Poppy Brite.

It also introduces and critically explores postcolonial, vampire, and neohistorical Gothic and women’s ghost stories.
