Monstrous textuality emerges when Gothic narratives like
Frankenstein reflect the monstrous in their narrative structure to
create narratives of resistance, and allows writers to
meta-narratively reflect their own poetics and textual production,
and reclaim authority over their work under circumstances of
systemic cultural oppression and Othering. This book traces the
representation of other Others through Black feminist hauntology in
Toni Morrison's Beloved (1987) and Love (2003); it explores fat
freak embodiment as a feminist resistance strategy in Angela
Carter's Nights at the Circus (1984) and Margaret Atwood's Lady
Oracle (1976); and it reads Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy (2003-13)
and Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl (1995) within a framework of
critical posthumanist and cyborg theory. The result is a
comprehensive argument about how these texts can be read within a
framework of critical posthumanist questioning of knowledge
production, and of epistemological exploration, beyond the
exclusionary humanist paradigm.
