It engages with the problems of representing 'difference' in lucid conceptual terms, with much attention to primary texts, and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of colonial discourses as well as postcolonialist attempts to 'write back.' While providing rich readings of Conrad, Kipling, Melville, Emily Brontë, Erna Brodber, Jean Rhys and others, it offers new perspectives on Otherness, difference and identity, re-examines the role of emotions in literature, and suggests productive ways of engaging with contemporary global and postcolonial issues.Gothic fiction (Literary genre), EnglishHistory and criticismGothic fiction (Literary genre), AmericanHistory and criticismPostcolonialism in literatureRacism in literatureIdentity (Philosophical concept) in literatureGothic fiction (Literary genre), EnglishHistory and criticism.Gothic fiction (Literary genre), AmericanHistory and criticism.Postcolonialism in literature.Racism in literature.Identity (Philosophical concept) in literature.823.08729Khair Tabish705091MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815117903321The Gothic, Postcolonialism and Otherness4070415UNINA
