Reviews

'... satisfying collection of essays ... [the editors] situation the thrust of the collection away from narrower concerns of extremes and limits of genres relating to monsters residing on a cultural periphery by seeing Gothic writers bringing 'national secrets into the light of a more egalitarian and global context'.' Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies 'This collection of essays on the transnational Gothic makes a timely contribution to a growing scholarship on global exchanges between literatures. ... will shape future scholarly analysis of a unified, complex Gothic.' Keats-Shelley Journal 'With strong underlying currents that include the frontier, Indian wars, slavery and the Civil War, it remains primarily of interest to scholars of American literature, and the American Gothic in particular, but enriches the reader's understanding of what these terms might fully entail, and does a very good job of filling in the blanks of what emerges, like the United States, as the product of a complex and fascinating web of global exchanges and interactions.'
