Writing, Identity and the Gothic Imagination

Daphne du Maurier: Writing, Identity and the Gothic Imagination is the first full-length evaluation of du Maurier »s fiction and the first critical study of du Maurier as a Gothic writer. Horner and Zlosnik argue that the fears at the heart of du Maurier »s Gothic fictions reflect both personal and broader cultural anxieties concerning sexual and social identity. Using the most recent work in Gothic and gender studies they enter the current debate on the nature of Female Gothic and raise questions about du Maurier »s relationship to such a tradition.
