First published in 1986, The Coherence of Gothic Conventions makes
the case that the Gothic in English literature has been marked by a
distinctive and highly influential set of ambitions about relations
of meaning. Through readings of classic Gothic authors as well as
of De Quincey and the Brontes, Sedgwick links the most
characteristic thematic conventions of the Gothic firmly and usably
to the genre's radical claims for representation. The introduction
clarifies the connection between the linguistic or epistemological
argument of the Gothic and its epochal crystallization of modern
gender and modern homophobia. This book will be of interest to
students of literature, cultural studies and psychology.
