Challenging the accepted view of Gothic literature as subversive, shows how the conventions of the genre gave shape to a sense of English nationality during the century when British imperial power was attaining its greatest reach. Examines the work of Ann Radcliffe, De Quincey, Charlotte Bronte, Matthew Arnold, Wilkie Collins, and Bram Stoker. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
