Introduction: Establishing the Place of Class in US Gothic and Horror Fiction -- 2. Class and Horror Fiction during the Early Twentieth Century -- 3. Class and Horror Fiction at Mid-Century -- 4. Representing Class during the Horror Boom of the 1970s and 1980s -- 5. Horror Fiction and Class in the Contemporary Period. Period. 330 $aIn this book, Simmons argues that class, as much as race and gender, played a significant role in the development of Gothic and Horror fiction in a national context. From the classic texts of Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne right through to contemporary examples, such as the novels of Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer?s Twilight Series, class remains an ever present though understudied element. This study will appeal to scholars of American Studies, English literature, Media and Cultural Studies interested in class representations in the horror genre from the nineteenth century to the present day. 410 0$aPalgrave Gothic,$x2634-6222 606 $aEthnology$zAmerica 606 $aCulture 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aFiction 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aFilm genres 606 $aAmerican Culture 606 $aCultural Theory 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aGenre Studies 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aFilm genres. 615 14$aAmerican Culture. 615 24$aCultural Theory. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aPopular Culture. 615 24$aGenre Studies. 676 $a306.0973 700 $aSimmons$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0963771 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255088903321 996 $aAmerican Horror Fiction and Class$92185681 997 $aUNINA
