Description
Nominated for the Allan Lloyd Smith Memorial Prize for the best book published on the Gothic 2009/2010, awarded by the International Gothic Association!
Â
This book examines writing in the Gothic mode which subverts the dominant national narrative of the British home front. Instead of seeing wartime experience as a site of fellowship and emotional resilience, Elizabeth Bowen, Anna Kavan, Mervyn Peake, Roy Fuller and others depict shadowy figures on the margin of the nation.
