Abstract

Readers familiar with Dracula and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde may not know that dozens of equally remarkable Gothic texts were written in Great Britain at the end of the nineteenth-century. This book accounts for the resurgence of Gothic, and its immense popularity, during the British fin de siècle. Kelly Hurley explores a key scenario that haunts the genre: the loss of a unified and stable human identity, and the emergence of a chaotic and transformative 'abhuman' identity in its place. She shows that such representations of Gothic bodies are strongly indebted to those found in nineteenth-century biology and social medicine, evolutionism, criminal anthropology, and degeneration theory. Gothic is revealed as a highly productive and speculative genre, standing in opportunistic relation to nineteenth-century scientific and social theories.

Abstract

Friends and fellow authors Henry Rider Haggard and Rudyard Kipling were prominent figures of imperial and colonial myth-making. Both writers were praised by their contemporaries for their alleged knowledge of and ability to speak from within the 'native' cultures of Africa and India. However, both exhibited a fascination with the colonized Other, displaying the striking ways in which the colonizing culture asserts its self-identity and authority. In this highly original and exciting re-reading of the classic works of Haggard and Kipling, Gail Ching-Liang Low asserts that the Other is actually a mirror reflecting the image of the colonizer - a `cultural cross-dressing'. Employing psychoanalysis, anthropology and post-colonial theory, she analyzes the way in which fantasy and fabulation is caught up in networks of desire and power. White Skins/Black Masks is a fascinating new entry into the current debates of post-colonial theory, and will be important reading for students of literary and cultural studies.
