It focusses on close readings of Gothic fiction, Sensation Novels, and tales by Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, William Godwin, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Wilkie Collins, and Henry James. The study approaches these texts through the lens of domestic space, gender, knowledge, and power. This approach serves to investigate the cultural roots of the ›closet‹ - the male homosexual secret - which reveals a more general notion of male secrecy in modern society. The study thus contributes to a better understanding of the cultural history of masculinities and sexualities.LettreLiteratureAmerican Studies.British Studies.Cultural Studies.Gender Studies.Gender.Gothic Novel.Henry James.Homosexuality.Literary Studies.Masculinity.Queer.Sensation Novel.420Bauer Geroaut897992Knowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2017: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996308775403316Houses, Secrets, and the Closet2006315UNISA
