Monstrous Women and Ecofeminism in the Victorian Gothic, 1837-1871 - Paperback

by Nicole C. Dittmer (Author)

Offering an ecofeminist approach to the interdisciplinary readings of the early-to-mid Victorian Gothic of both canonical narratives and ephemeral penny bloods and dreadfuls, Dittmer identifies assumed "monstrous" women as monistic mind-body figurations, who reject social confines and reclaim nature.
