This collection of essays by experts in Renaissance and Gothic
studies tracks the lines of connection between Gothic sensibilities
and the discursive network of the Renaissance. The texts covered
encompass poetry, epic narratives, ghost stories, prose dialogues,
political pamphlets and Shakespeare's texts, read alongside those
of other playwrights. The authors show that the Gothic sensibility
addresses subversive fantasies of transgression, be this in regard
to gender (troubling stable notions of masculinity and femininity),
social orders (challenging hegemonic, patriarchal or sovereign
power), or disciplinary discourses (dictating what is deemed licit
and what illicit or deviant). They relate these issues back to the
early modern period as a moment of transition, in which categories
of individual, gendered, racial and national identity began to
emerge, and connect the religious and the pictorial turn within
early modern textual production to a reassessment of Gothic
culture. -- .
