Vuohelainen s book opens up the treasure chest that is Richard Marsh s fin-de-siecle gothic writing and shows convincingly how his tremendously influential The Beetle, as well as a host of other novels and short stories by the author, negotiates the dark and uncanny spaces of the turn-of-the-century urban landscape. Meticulously researched, theoretically precise, and yet immensely readable, this book is a very welcome study of one of the most sorely neglected writers of the period, and a useful contribution to the understanding of how spatiality is constructed in gothic writing. --John Hoglund, Linnaeus University, Sweden Vuohelainen s study brings welcome attention to the multifaceted Richard Marsh, a figure whose importance to fin-de-siecle and Edwardian literary culture is increasingly now being recognized. This absorbing book makes a powerful case for considering gothic fictions of the period in the light of spatial theory, and in so doing opens up new ways of thinking the relations between popular fiction and literary modernism that will capture the imaginations of scholars and students of both. --Victoria Margree, University of Brighton The author demonstrates that any consideration of fin-de-siecle gothic is incomplete without Richard Marsh. This book will change for good how we conceptualize the fin-de-siecle canon Vuohelainen s exploration of space and place in Marsh s novels brings out a crucial dimension to the fin-de-siecle literary experience. --Daniel Orrells, Warwick University The author demonstrates that any consideration of fin-de-siecle gothic is incomplete without Richard Marsh.
