It provides interdisciplinary readings of incest within father-daughter, sibling, mother-son, cousin and uncle-niece relationships in texts by authors including Emily Bronte, Eliza Parsons, Ann Radcliffe and Eleanor Sleath. The analyses, underpinned by historical, literary and cultural contexts, reveal that the incest thematic allowed writers to explore a range of related sexual, social and legal concerns. Through representations of incest, Gothic writers modelled alternative agencies, sexualities and family structures that remain relevant today. 650 0 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre), English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Incest in literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212012342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE2AFE92840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
