- catalog abstract ""Female writers of Gothic were hell-raisers in more than one sense: not only did they specialize in evoking scenes of horror, cruelty, and supernaturalism, but in doing so they exploded the literary conventions of the day, and laid claim to realms of imagination hitherto reserved for men. They were rewarded with popular success, large profits, and even critical adulation. This study tells the strange but true story of women's Gothic from the beginnings in the work of Clara Reeve and Sophia Lee; through that of its best-known exponent Ann Radcliffe, author of The Mysteries of Udolpho; to Mary Shelley, whose Frankenstein has held an imaginative grip on successive generations from the time of its publication in 1818 to the present. The careers of Charlotte Dacre and Joanna Baillie, two lesser-known writers now exciting new interest, are also examined. Students and scholars as well as general readers will find Women's Gothic a stimulating introduction to a fascinating and popular genre."--Jacket.".
