    British Women’s Short Supernatural Fiction, 1860–1930

    Our Own Ghostliness
    Victoria Margree
    978-3-030-27142-8
    2019
    Edition 1
    • Makes an original contribution to ghost story scholarship by arguing for an intersectional approach to women’s supernatural short fiction of the late-Victorian period and early twentieth century
    • Argues for caution in relation to a scholarly tendency to read women’s ghost fiction for subversive meanings, emphasising the equivocal or even conservative messages that such texts also often endorse
    • Expands the canon of ghost story writers and women writers
    • Draws upon a range of theoretical perspectives including New Economic Criticism, postcolonial theory and psychoanalytic theory
    • Reads the short supernatural story in relation to contexts including the women’s movement, the Marriage Question, economic crises, Britain’s changing class structure, colonialism and ideas about ‘race’, aesthetic movements, and the First World War
    • Contributes to the current resurgence of scholarship on short fiction and short fiction theory, and to the ever-expanding fields of study of Gothic and Victorian supernaturalism
    • Contributes to recent scholarship that seeks to identify previously obscured connections between Victorian literary culture and twentieth century modernism
