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