Introduction: Queering Contemporary Gothic -- 2. Ghosts and Haunted Houses -- 3. Uncanny Others: Vampires and Doubles -- 4. Tracking the Monster -- 5. Regional Gothic: Uncanny Cites and Rural Sites -- Conclusion . 330 $aThis book explores the development of queer Gothic fiction, contextualizing it with reference to representations of queer sexualities and genders in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Gothic, as well as the sexual-political perspectives generated by the 1970s lesbian and gay liberation movements and the development of queer theory in the 1990s. The book examines the roles that Gothic motifs and narrative strategies play in depicting aspects of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual and intersex experience in contemporary Gothic fiction. Gothic motifs discussed include spectrality, the haunted house, the vampire, doppelganger and monster. Regional Gothic and the contribution that Gothic tropes make to queer historical fiction and historiography receive attention, as does the AIDS narrative. Female Gothic and feminist perspectives are also explored. Writers discussed include Peter Ackroyd, Vincent Brome, Jim Grimsley, Alan Hollinghurst, Randall Kenan, Meg Kingston, Michelle Paver, Susan Swan, Louise Tondeur, Sarah Waters, Kathleen Winter and Jeanette Winterson. . 410 0$aPalgrave Gothic,$x2634-6222 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aLiterature$xPhilosophy 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aSex 606 $aFilm genres 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aCultural Theory 606 $aLiterary Theory 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aGenre Studies 606 $aFeminism and Feminist Theory 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aLiterature$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aFilm genres. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 14$aCultural Theory. 615 24$aLiterary Theory. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aGender Studies. 615 24$aGenre Studies. 615 24$aFeminism and Feminist Theory. 676 $a306.01 700 $aPalmer$b Paulina$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0457694 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153100903321 996 $aQueering Contemporary Gothic Narrative 1970-2012$92542844 997 $aUNINA
