Deadly Locution and Delphic Shrieks: Haunted Significance and the Self 2.

Articulately and elegantly written, the force of this groundbreaking book goes in two directions. It reflects powerfully on the role of utterances, voices, and sounds of all kinds in the Gothic; and it develops a strong argument about the centrality of vocal utterance to the development and establishment of American cultural self-conception. --David Punter, University of Bristol -- David Punter, University of Bristol * University of Wales Press * With its fascinating focus on ventriloquism and unintelligible speech, animal noises, and other types of sound, Jimmy Packham's Gothic Utterance issues a clarion call to attend to the neglected roles of voice and sound in American Gothic and the Gothic more broadly. Researchers into the Gothic will want to listen carefully to what it has to say! --Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, Central Michigan University -- Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, Central Michigan University * University of Wales Press *
