A1 - Spooner, Catherine LA - English PP - Manchester, UK PB - Manchester University Press YR - 2017 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_dda_on1155116890 AB - This innovative book is the first to make an explicit link between constructions of the body in Gothic literature and film and historically specific fashion discourse, from the 1790s to the 1990s. AB - Covers a broad historical sweep from the 1790's to the present day and is thus relevant to students and scholars working in a wide variety of areas. The book sheds new light on the cultural construction of Gothic bodies and takes an innovative interdisciplinary approach to the subject which distinguishes it from the majority of works on the Gothic.
