Reviews

"""This book is a credit to the Gothic's aptness for denouncing social injustice. Taking stock of the mode's investment in decrying capitalism's structural inequalities, Bride argues for a broader consideration of the evolution of financial discourse in the American context as essentially monstrous. When money talks, the Gothic claps back."" -- ""Dr Xavier Aldana Reyes, Manchester Metropolitan University"" ""This is a bold disinterment of the monstrosity that has long lain at the core of imaginative responses to money and markets in American culture. In Amy Bride's incisive analysis, both American Gothic and American capitalism are revealed to be possessed by phantoms still stranger and more potent than we knew.""-- ""Professor Paul Crosthwaite, University of Edinburgh"" ""Financial Gothic persuasively highlights the immense - and often monstrous - role that anxieties related to finance have played in shaping the popular American Gothic between the early twentieth century and the present day.""-- ""Dr Bernice M. Murphy, Trinity College, Dublin"""
