{"product_id":"9781783164998","title":"Queer Others in Victorian Gothic: Transgressing Monstrosity","description":"Queer Others in Victorian Gothic: Transgressing Monstrosity explores the intersections of Gothic, cultural, gender, queer, socio-economic and postcolonial theories in nineteenth-century British representations of sexuality, gender, class and race. From mid-century authors like Wilkie Collins and Elizabeth Gaskell to fin-de-siècle writers such as J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Florence Marryat and Vernon Lee, this study examines the ways that these Victorian writers utilized gothic horror as a proverbial ‘safe space’ in which to grapple with taboo social and cultural issues. This work simultaneously explores our current assumptions about a Victorian culture that was monolithic in its disdain for those who were ‘other’.","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131197571312,"sku":"9781783164998","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783164998_p0.jpg?v=1763722526","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783164998","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
