Description
Topic: The Gothic, Haunting, History, and Memory
This class will read Gothic texts written by women in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. From the imposing house that reveals the perils of domesticity, to the haunting spirit that shows how history lives on in the present, the Gothic has long offered vehicles for exploring how gender and sexuality attach to histories both personal and (inter)national.
