This book is the first of its kind to align selected 21st century fiction with a revised understanding of the gothic. Through close reading, the author demonstrates how 21st century novels are reworking traditional ghost stories of the past. Themes explored are the links between memory and haunting; the architectural function of language; the uncanniness of writing; the Law and its associations with mortgage, death and hospitality; the poison of inherited lineage; the position of thresholds and traces of violence within space.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Gothic Contemporaries is the first study to align twenty-first-century fiction with a revised understanding of the Gothic. Through close readings of several twenty-first-century novelsincluding The Story of Lucy Gault by William Trevor, The Sea by John Banville, The Gathering by Anne Enright, and othersand drawing ideas from Jacques Derridas later works, Joanne Watkiss demonstrates how contemporary fiction reworks the traditional ghost stories of the past. Among the numerous themes Watkins explores are the links between memory and haunting; the architectural function of language; writing and the uncanny; the law and its associations with mortgage, death, and hospitality; the poison of inherited lineage; and the positions of thresholds and traces of violence within space. With its profound interplay of text and theory, Gothic Contemporaries will appeal not just to students and scholars of Gothic studies, but also to those interested in architecture, film, and contemporary fiction. Gothic Contemporaries: The Haunted Text is the first of its kind to align selected 21st century fiction with a revised understanding of the gothic through themes such as signification, communication, ethics, inheritance and currency.
