The Gothic Body: Sexuality, Materialism, and Degeneration at the Fin de Siecle - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Hurley, Kelly (University of Colorado, Boulder)
This book accounts for the resurgence of Gothic, and its immense popularity, during the British fin de siècle. Kelly Hurley explores a key scenario that haunts the genre - the loss of a unified and stable human identity - and reveals the links between the Gothic body and nineteenth-century scientific and social theories.
