This book explores women writers' involvement with the Gothic. The
author sheds new light on women's experience, a viewpoint that
remains largely absent from male-authored Colonial Gothic works.
The book investigates how women writers appropriated the Gothic
genre-and its emphasis on fear, isolation, troubled identity,
racial otherness, and sexual deviancy-in order to take these
anxieties into the farthest realms of the British Empire. The
chapters show how Gothic themes told from a woman's perspective
emerge in unique ways when set in the different colonial regions
that comprise the scope of this book: Canada, the Caribbean,
Africa, India, Australia, and New Zealand. Edmundson argues that
women's Colonial Gothic writing tends to be more critical of
imperialism, and thereby more subversive, than that of their male
counterparts. This book will be of interest to students and
academics interested in women's writing, the Gothic, and colonial
studies.
