Considering both major and lesser-known Gothic works, and ranging from the canonical (poetry and fiction) to the popular (film, video games, music, and visual and performance art), it offers queer and trans perspectives on a wide selection of Gothic modes, genres and texts from fiction such as Hugh Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto to Jeanette Winterson’s The Daylight Gate, films from Nosferatu to The Cured and TV shows including In the Flesh and Pose. By re-visiting the usefulness of the term ‘queer’ and pushing queer theoretical frameworks into new territory, this volume explores the ways that Gothic and queer work alongside each other: one as a marginalised genre and the other as a marginalised identity. Queer Gothic: An Edinburgh Companion features sixteen essays that interrogate queer theory’s intersections with the Gothic.
Re-visits past ideas of queer theory and expands on them within Gothic context.
