TransGothic in Literature and Culture
«
"There are very few collections of essays on the Gothic and issues of gender and genre that are as cutting-edge and innovative as this one. While other studies have gotten powerfully at the relation of the Gothic to "queer" or alternative sexualities, the pieces here hone in with great analytical power and theoretical rigor on how and why various modes of Gothic render the blurring of and crossing between gender boundaries and even body types, putting in question nearly all definitions of particular sexualities and all standard articulations of the human body’s limits. These discussions even match their depiction of what is transgender with how the trans-generic mode that is the Gothic keeps transforming itself to reconceive of human multiplicity, real and imagined. This book therefore occupies a distinct and valuable niche within Gothic studies, sexuality studies, cultural studies, literature and film studies, and studies of the languages and politics of human self-definition." --Jerrold E. Hogle, Department of English, University of Arizona, USA
