Gothic forms of feminine fictions is a study of the powers of the
Gothic in late twentieth-century fiction and film. Susanne Becker
argues that the Gothic, two hundred years after it emerged,
exhibits renewed vitality in our media age with its obsession for
stimulation and excitement. Today's globalised entertainment
culture, relying on soaps, reality TV shows, celebrity and excess,
is reflected in the emotional trajectory of the Gothic's violence,
eroticism and sentimental excess. Gothic forms of feminine fictions
discusses a wide range of anglophone Gothic romances, from the
classics through pulp fictions to a postmodern Gothica. This timely
and original study is a major contribution to gender and genre
theory as well as cultural criticism of the contemporary. It will
appeal to scholars in a wide range of fields and become essential
for students of the Gothic, contemporary fiction - particularly
Alice Munro and Margaret Atwood - and popular culture. -- .
