TransGothic in Literature and Culture

Book Overview

This book offers new perspectives on the ways in which Gothic literature, visual media, and other cultural forms engage gender, sexuality, form, and genre. It explores categories like transgenders, transbodies, and transembodiments, and broader concepts that move beyond the limits of gender identity and sexuality, such as transhistories, transpolitics, transmodalities, and transgenres. Illuminating areas like the appropriation of the trans body in Gothic literature and film, trans rhetorics in memoir, textual markers of transgenderism, and the Gothic's transgeneric qualities, essays offer innovative interpretations and intersect with non-trans feminist and queer readings of the Gothic.
