{"product_id":"9781474425568","title":"Women and the Gothic : An Edinburgh Companion by Sue Zlosnik","description":"A re-assessment of the Gothic in relation to the female, the `feminine', feminism and post-feminismThis 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 engage with debates about `Female Gothic' from the 1970s and '80s, through second wave feminism, theorisations of gender and a long interrogation of the `women' category as well as with the problematics of post-feminism, now itself being interrogated by 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.
