The American Gothic novel has been deeply shaped by issues of race
and raciality from its origins in British Romanticism to the
American Gothic novel in the twenty-first century. Savage Horrors
delineates an intrinsic raciality that is discursively sedimented
in the Gothic's uniquely binary structure. Corinna Lenhardt
uncovers the destructive and lasting impact of the Gothic's
anti-Black racism on the cultural discourses in the United States.
At the same time, Savage Horrors traces the unflinching Black
resistance back to the Gothic's intrinsic raciality. The African
American Gothic, however, does not originate there but in the Black
Atlantic - roughly a decade before the first Gothic novel was ever
written on American soil.
The fantastic represents a wide and heterogeneous field in
literary, cultural, and media studies. Encompassing some of the
field's foremost voices such as Fred Botting and Larissa Lai, as
well as exciting new perspectives by junior scholars, this volume
offers a mosaic of the fantastic now. The contributions pinpoint
and discuss current developments in theory and practice by offering
enlightening snapshots of the contemporary Anglophone landscape of
research in the fantastic. The authors' arguments and analyses thus
give new impetus to the field's theoretical and methodological
approaches, its textual materials, its main interests, and its
crucial findings.
