The Cambridge Companion to American Gothic offers an accessible overview to both the breadth and depth of the American Gothic tradition. This subgenre features works from many of America's best-known authors: Edgar Allan Poe, Toni Morrison, Stephen King, Anne Rice, Henry James, Edith Wharton, William Faulkner, and Flannery O'Connor. Authored by leading experts in the field, the introduction and sixteen chapters explore the American Gothic chronologically, in relation to different social groups, in connection with different geographic regions, and in different media, including children's literature, poetry, drama, film, television, and gaming. This Companion provides a rich and thorough analysis of the American Gothic tradition from a twenty-first-century standpoint, and will be a key resource undergraduates, graduate students, and professional researchers interested in this topic.

This book demonstrates how Gothic literature experiments with and subverts Romantic medical debates to reassess the power of nonnormative bodies within medical, social and political spheres, and to reallocate narrative agency to bodies typically silenced.

American Gothic literature inherited many time-worn tropes from its English Gothic precursor, along with a core preoccupation: anxiety about power and property. The aristocratic villain is replaced by the striving, independent young man. The dispossession of Native Americans and African Americans add urgency to traditional Gothic anxieties about possession.

Il s'agit moins ici d'analyser le canon gothique à proprement parler que de s'interroger sur le retour de motifs clés au dix-neuvième et au vingtième siècles et d'étudier le fonctionnement de certains mode/codes d'écriture et de lecture. Ces reprises, ces retours fantasmatiques ou ces décors inquiétants semblent à priori relever du simulacre, du factice. Mais le gothique - parfois sous la forme de simple détail, de clin d'oeil parodique ou non - ne permet-il pas un basculement, un déplacement, un décalage de la production à la production du sens?
