| Abstract
|
:
|
Explores new critical ground by addressing the intersection of two much debated and contentious concepts, postfeminism and Gothic. This edited collection of original essays examines a number of Gothic texts, from Anne Radcliffe's romances to modern horror films, in conjunction with diverse postfeminist theories, from backlash to postmodern feminism.
