Haunted house narratives by Charlotte Riddell and Margaret Oliphant become troubled by uncanny reminders of the origins of middle-class wealth in domestic and foreign exploitation. Corpse-like revenants are deployed in Female Gothic tales by Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Edith Nesbit to interrogate masculine aestheticisation of female death. In the culturally-hybrid supernaturalism of Alice Perrin, the ?Marriage Question? migrates to colonial India, and psychoanalytically-informed stories by May Sinclair, Eleanor Scott and Violet Hunt explore just how far gender relations have really progressed in the post-First World War period. Study of the woman?s short story productively problematises literary histories about the ?golden age? of the ghost story, and about the transition from Victorianism to modernism. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre), English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre), English $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Women and literature $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030271428 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022753.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200303023512.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=40A9F9885D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
