For women-identified writers of both eras, the fantastic offered
double vision. Not only did the genre offer strategic cover for
challenging the status quo, but also a heuristic mechanism for
teasing out the gendered psyche's links to creative, personal, and
erotic agency. These dynamic presentations of female and
gender-queer subjectivity, are linked in intriguing and complex
matrices to key moments in gender(ed) history. This volume contains
essays from international scholars covering a wide range of topics,
including werewolves, mummies, fairies, demons, time travel,
ghosts, haunted spaces and objects, race, gender, queerness,
monstrosity, madness, incest, empire, medicine, and science. By
interrogating two non-consecutive decades, we seek to uncover the
inter-relationships among fantastic literature, feminism, and
modern identity and culture. Indeed, while this book considers the
relationship between the 1890s and 1920s, it is more an examination
of women's modernism in light of gendered literary production
during the fin-de-siecle than the reverse.
