Guide to the Gothic II: An Annotated Bibliography of Criticism, 1983-1993

An annotated sequel and supplement to the original Guide to the Gothic , this book includes over 1,500 new entries reflecting the increased use of feminist perspectives and linguistic, theoretical, and semiotic approaches in recent Gothic novel scholarship, as well as the changed attitude toward the value and meaning involved in reading and writing Gothic fiction. Intended as a companion to the first Guide , this book retains the same organization and chapter content as its predecessor. New individual author studies include sections on Stephen King and Edith Wharton. A special section identifies anthologies of Gothic fiction.
