Gothic Utterance: Voice, Speech and Death in the American Gothic
(Part of the Gothic Literary Studies Series)
No Customer Reviews
In-depth analysis of the American Gothic and the utterances of marginalized voices. The Gothic has always been interested in strange utterances and unsettling voices, from half-heard ghostly murmurings to the terrible cries of the monstrous nonhuman. Gothic Utterance offers the first book-length study of the role such voices play in the Gothic tradition, exploring their prominence and importance in the literature produced in America between the Revolutionary War and the close of the nineteenth century. This book argues that the American Gothic foregrounds the overpowering effect and meaning of the voices of those on the margins of society, as well as the ethical charge of our encounter with such voices.
