Explores a full spectrum of Gothic works broadly understood as
queer, from the eighteenth century to today Explores Gothic themes
through nuanced queer lenses Re-visits past ideas of queer theory
and expands on them within Gothic context Focuses on time periods,
genres, and queer Gothic modes Queer Gothic: An Edinburgh Companion
features sixteen essays that interrogate queer theory's
intersections with the Gothic. By re-visiting the usefulness of the
term 'queer' and pushing queer theoretical frameworks into new
territory, this volume explores the ways that Gothic and queer work
alongside each other: one as a marginalised genre and the other as
a marginalised identity. Considering both major and lesser-known
Gothic works, and ranging from the canonical (poetry and fiction)
to the popular (film, video games, music, and visual and
performance art), it offers queer and trans perspectives on a wide
selection of Gothic modes, genres and texts from fiction such as
Hugh Walpole's The Castle of Otranto to Jeanette Winterson's The
Daylight Gate, films from Nosferatu to The Cured and TV shows
including In the Flesh and Pose.
