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. 410 0$aLettre 610 $aLiterature 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aBritish Studies. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aGender Studies. 610 $aGender. 610 $aGothic Novel. 610 $aHenry James. 610 $aHomosexuality. 610 $aLiterary Studies. 610 $aMasculinity. 610 $aQueer. 610 $aSensation Novel. 676 $a420 700 $aBauer$b Gero$4aut$0897992 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2017: Backlist Collection$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996308775403316 996 $aHouses, Secrets, and the Closet$92006315 997 $aUNISA
