Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, viii + 190 pages, NOT ex-library. Book looks unread, clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. In a fine dust jacket. -- This book investigates the relationship between Gothic fiction and legal discourse in Britain and the United States between 1790 and 1860. Bridget M. Marshall examines four novels - William Godwin's Caleb Williams (1794), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), Charles Brockden Brown's Edgar Huntly (1799), and Hannah Crafts's The Bondwoman's Narrative (c. 1855-61) - as case studies in how literary texts engage with legal institutions, procedures, and concepts. Rather than treating Gothic fiction as escapist or apolitical, the book presents it as a narrative form well suited to exploring ambiguity, coercion, and systemic authority during a period of legal and political transformation. The introduction outlines the theoretical and historical context for examining legal motifs in Gothic fiction. Subsequent chapters address how each novel incorporates legal structures - such as trials, punishment, surveillance, and evidentiary logic - into its plot and formal strategies. Caleb Williams is read in relation to imprisonment and the epistemology of legal evidence. Frankenstein explores how misinterpretations of the body and forced confessions shape perceptions of criminality and justice. Turning to the American context, Edgar Huntly highlights distinctions in legal frameworks, particularly around documentary evidence and the jury's interpretive role. In The Bondwoman's Narrative, the analysis focuses on the intersection of Gothic and slave narrative, using themes of entrapment, coded communication, and institutional silence to explore the legal mechanics of slavery. Recurring motifs include wrongful accusation, extralegal punishment, and the use of personal documents - letters, confessions, depositions - as instruments of control or resistance. These textual artifacts complicate truth claims and underscore the Gothic's preoccupation with unreliable narration and interpretive instability. The study draws connections between these literary features and legal developments of the time, such as Britain's Black Act and the United States' Fugitive Slave Act, situating the novels within wider cultural responses to evolving notions of justice, citizenship, and authority. Marshall's analysis contributes to multiple fields, including Gothic studies, legal humanities, and transatlantic literary history. By integrating canonical texts with lesser-known works, and framing them against contemporaneous legal thought, the book offers a framework for understanding Gothic fiction as a medium for legal critique. It will be of interest to scholars examining the intersection of genre fiction with legal and political theory, as well as those exploring how literature reflects and interrogates the ideological foundations of institutional power. -- Contents: Introduction: Legal Tangles and Gothic Trappings; 1.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A new edition of Mary Elizabeth Braddon's The Factory Girl that includes an introduction that places the novel in its historical and literary contexts, including its connections with Gothic and sensation fiction traditions. Mary Elizabeth Braddon's The Factory Girl first appeared in serial installments in London's Halfpenny Journal from January to October 1863. Published anonymously, the novel is an exciting romp through the various tropes of both Gothic and sensation fiction, including poisoning, dueling, kidnapping, secret identities, cross-class love affairs, gambling addictions, and mock marriages. It is one of many nineteenth-century texts that portrayed the 'factory girl' as an innocent young woman who was threatened by economic precarity, lecherous suitors, and even her own family. With numerous twists and a large cast of villains, the novel offers a critique of gender and class structures that left women in precarious positions. Sometimes called a 'penny blood,' this kind of cheap novel was likely read by factory girls themselves, and this edition, complete with original illustrations, shows why Braddon became the 'queen of the circulating library.'.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 282 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Offering a variety of critical approaches to late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Gothic literature, this collection provides a transnational view of the emergence and flowering of the Gothic. The essays expand on now well-known approaches to the Gothic (such as those that concentrate exclusively on race, gender, or nation) by focusing on international issues: religious traditions, social reform, economic and financial pitfalls, manifest destiny and expansion, changing concepts of nationhood, and destabilizing moments of empire-building. By examining a wide array of Gothic texts, including novels, drama, and poetry, the contributors present the Gothic not as a peripheral, marginal genre, but as a central mode of literary exchange in an ever-expanding global context. Thus the traditional conventions of the Gothic, such as those associated with Ann Radcliffe and Monk Lewis, are read alongside unexpected Gothic formulations and lesser-known Gothic authors and texts. These include Mary Rowlandson and Bram Stoker, Frances and Anthony Trollope, Louisa May Alcott, Elizabeth Gaskell, Theodore Dreiser, Rudyard Kipling, and Lafcadio Hearn, as well as the actors Edmund Kean and George Frederick Cooke. Individually and collectively, the essays provide a much-needed perspective that eschews national borders in order to explore the central role that global (and particularly transatlantic) exchange played in the development of the Gothic. British, American, Continental, Caribbean, and Asian Gothic are represented in this collection, which seeks to deepen our understanding of the Gothic as not merely a national but a global aesthetic.…
