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 $aElectronic books. 615 0$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 702 $aDiPlacidi$b Jenny, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910263843903321 996 $aGothic incest$91970142 997 $aUNINA
