About this book

The study deals with the thematic combination of 'sexuality and death' in order to explore the functional-structural relationship between literary and cultural discourses and its historical changes. The areas of investigation are English culture between the late 18th and the late 19th century as well as the gothic and sensation narratives of the time. A thorough theoretical foundation is followed first by an investigation of historical developments in the cultural discourses of sexuality and death, and then by extensive analyses of texts by Walpole, Lewis, Mary Shelley, Emily Brontk, Collins, Le Fanu, Wilde, Stoker and others.

Reviews

"Meier's book impresses the reader by its broad approach, excellent structure, thorough reflections, balanced judgements, and last but not least its comprehensive documentation with a wealth of information and discussion in the footnotes."
Michael Meyer in: Germanisch-Romanische Monatsschrift 4/2008
