Description:

This work places Collins within Victorian literary history, showing how his fiction transforms the conventions of the traditionally female genre of the Gothic novel and can be read as a critique of the gender and class distinctions that structured Victorian society.

Synopsis:

"Shows how the English writer used the female Gothic tradition to write novels about class and gender distinctions in Victorian society, and how his association with a female literary genre gave him an ambivalent position in the literary marketplace."-The Chronicle of Higher Education
