Although the preoccupation of Gothic storytelling with the family
has often been observed, it invites a more systematic exploration.
Gothic kinship brings together case studies of Gothic kinship ties
in film and literature and offers a synthesis and theorisation of
the different appearances of the Gothic family. Writers discussed
include early British Gothic writers such as Eleanor Sleath and
Louisa Sidney Stanhope as well as a range of later authors writing
in English, including Elizabeth Gaskell, William March, Stephen
King, Poppy Z. Brite, Patricia Duncker, J. K. Rowling and Audrey
Niffenegger. There are also essays on Dutch authors (Louis Couperus
and Renate Dorrestein) and on the film directors Wes Craven and
Steven Sheil. Arranged chronologically, the various contributions
show that both early and contemporary Gothic display very diverse
kinship ties, ranging from metaphorical to triangular, from queer
to nuclear-patriarchal. Gothic proves to be a rich source of
expressing both subversive and conservative notions of the family.
Gothic kinship will be of interest to academics and students of
European and American Gothic in literature and film, gender studies
and cultural studies. -- .
