Starting with a re-examination of the role of the colonial/racial
Other in mainstream Gothic (colonial) fiction, this book goes on to
engage with the problem of narrating the 'subaltern' in the
post-colonial context. It engages with the problems of representing
'difference' in lucid conceptual terms, with much attention to
primary texts, and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of
colonial discourses as well as postcolonialist attempts to 'write
back.' While providing rich readings of Conrad, Kipling, Melville,
Emily Bronte, Erna Brodber, Jean Rhys and others, it offers new
perspectives on Otherness, difference and identity, re-examines the
role of emotions in literature, and suggests productive ways of
engaging with contemporary global and postcolonial issues.
