This book explores women writers involvement with the Gothic. The author sheds new light on womens experience, a viewpoint that remains largely absent from male-authored Colonial Gothic works. The book investigates how women writers appropriated the Gothic genreand its emphasis on fear, isolation, troubled identity, racial otherness, and sexual deviancyin order to take these anxieties into the farthest realms of the British Empire. The chapters show how Gothic themes told from a womans perspective emerge in unique ways when set in the different colonial regions that comprise the scope of this book: Canada, the Caribbean, Africa, India, Australia, and New Zealand. Edmundson argues that womens Colonial Gothic writing tends to be more critical of imperialism, and thereby more subversive, than that of their male counterparts. This book will be of interest to students and academics interested in womens writing, the Gothic, and colonial studies.
