The Gothic Literature and History of New England : Secrets of the Restless Dead Paperback / softback
by Faye Ringel
Part of the Anthem Studies in Gothic Literature series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Gothic Literature and History of New England surveys the history, nature and future of the Gothic mode in the region, from the witch trials through the Black Lives Matter Movement.
Texts include Cotton Mather and other Puritan divines who collected folklore of the supernatural; the Frontier Gothic of Indian captivity narratives; the canonical authors of the American Renaissance such as Melville and Hawthorne; the women's ghost story tradition and the Domestic Gothic from Harriet Beecher Stowe to Charlotte Perkins Gilman to Shirley Jackson; H.
P. Lovecraft; Stephen King; and writers of the current generation who respond to racial and gender issues.
The work brings to the surface the religious intolerance, racism and misogyny inherent in the New England Gothic, and how these nightmares continue to haunt literature and popular culture—films, television and more.
