American Women's Regionalist Fiction: Mapping the Gothic seeks to
redress the monolithic vision of American Gothic by analyzing the
various sectional or regional attempts to Gothicize what is most
claustrophobic or peculiar about local history. Since women writers
were often relegated to inferior status, it is especially
compelling to look at women from the Gothic perspective. The
regionalist Gothic develops along the line of difference and not
unity-thus emphasizing regional peculiarities or a sense of
superiority in terms of regional history, natural landscapes,
immigrant customs, folk tales, or idiosyncratic ways. The essays
study the uncanny or the haunting quality of "the commonplace," as
Hawthorne would have it in his introduction to The House of the
Seven Gables, in regionalist Gothic fiction by a wide range of
women writers between ca. 1850 and 1930. This collection seeks to
examine how/if the regionalist perspective is small, limited, and
stultifying and leads to Gothic moments, or whether the
intersection between local and national leads to a clash that is
jarring and Gothic in nature.
