The angel of the house is a critical commonplace in studies of the
19th-century woman. Through readings of Victorian gothic and
sensation fiction, this book interrogates current feminist
assumptions about the relation of women to the private sphere, and
reveals the unexpectedly radical potential of this association. It
is argued that this potential is an intrinsic aspect of the female
gothic tradition traceable back to Ann Radcliffe. A new typology of
male and female gothic is shown to be relevant to contemporary
French feminist debates about sexual difference.
