It provides interdisciplinary readings of incest within father-daughter, sibling, mother-son, cousin and uncle-niece relationships in texts by authors including Emily Bronte?, Eliza Parsons, Ann Radcliffe and Eleanor Sleath. The analyses, underpinned by historical, literary and cultural contexts, reveal that the incest thematic allowed writers to explore a range of related sexual, social and legal concerns. Through representations of incest, Gothic writers modelled alternative agencies, sexualities and family structures that remain relevant today. 606 $aIncest in literature 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGothic fiction (Literary genre), English$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aLiterature 610 $agender 610 $asexuality 610 $aGothic literature 610 $aincest 610 $aincestuous desire 610 $aEmily Brontė 610 $aEliza Parsons 610 $aAnn Radcliffe 610 $aEleanor Sleath 610 $asexualities 610 $aGothic writers 610 $aeighteenth century 610 $aRomantic 610 $aGothic studies 610 $agothic tradition 610 $aGender Studies 610 $anineteenth century 610 $aConsanguinity 610 $aKinship 610 $aPatriarchy 615 0$aIncest in literature. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGothic fiction (Literary genre), English$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.3/8729 700 $aDiPlacidi$b Jenny$0881969 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910263843903321 996 $aGothic incest$91970142 997 $aUNINA
