Ghost Stories by British and American Women : A Selected, Annotated Bibliography Paperback / softback
by Lynette Carpenter, Wendy K. Kolmar
Part of the Garland Reference Library of the Humanities series
Paperback / softback
Description
Originally published in 1998 and covering a tradition ignored by most critics, this bibliography assembles and documents a large body of supernatural fiction written by women in English from the end of the 18th century to the present.
These stories, the work of women whose literary reputations, personal histories, and bodies of work vary widely, challenge the narrow way in which supernatural literature has traditionally been regarded: they indicate a much richer and more complex set of literary responses to the supernatural than has been hitherto acknowledged. The writers included range from Ann Radcliffe and the Gothic novelists to Louisa May Alcott, Charlotte Gilman, and Edith Wharton to such modern writers as Elizabeth Bowen, Jean Rhys, Muriel Spark, and A.S.
Byatt. The volume will be of interest to literary and cultural historians and of particular importance to women's studies scholars.
