Diana Perez Edelman dissects Horace Walpoles use of embryological concepts in the development of his Gothic imagination and provides an overview of the conflict between preformation and epigenesis in the scientific community. The book then explores the ways in which Gothic literature can be read as epigenetic in its focus on internally sourced modes of identity, monstrosity, and endless narration. The chapters analyze Horace Walpoles The Castle of Otranto; Ann Radcliffes A Sicilian Romance, The Italian, and The Mysteries of Udolpho; Mary Shelleys Frankenstein; Charles Robert Maturins Melmoth the Wanderer; and James Hoggs Confessions of a Justified Sinner, arguing that these touchstones of the Gothic register why the Gothic emerged at that time and why it continues today: the mysteries of reproduction remain unsolved. Diana Perez Edelman is Associate Professor of English at the University of North Georgia, Gainesville, USA. 001438135 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001438135 650_0 $$aGothic fiction (Literary genre), English$$xHistory and criticism. 001438135 650_0 $$aEnglish literature$$y18th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001438135 650_0 $$aEnglish literature$$y19th century$$xHistory and criticism. 001438135 650_0 $$aScience in literature$$xHistory$$y18th century. 001438135 650_0 $$aScience in literature$$xHistory$$y19th century. 001438135 650_6 $$aLittérature anglaise$$y18e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001438135 650_6 $$aLittérature anglaise$$y19e siècle$$xHistoire et critique. 001438135 650_6 $$aSciences dans la littérature$$xHistoire$$y18e siècle. 001438135 650_6 $$aSciences dans la littérature$$xHistoire$$y19e siècle. 001438135 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001438135 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001438135 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001438135 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aEDELMAN, DIANA.$$tEMBRYOLOGY AND THE RISE OF THE GOTHIC NOVEL.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : PALGRAVE MACMILLAN, 2021$$z3030736474$$w(OCoLC)1241245691 001438135 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in literature, science, and medicine. 001438135 852__ $$bebk 001438135 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-73648-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001438135 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1438135$$pGLOBAL_SET 001438135 980__ $$aBIB 001438135 980__ $$aEBOOK 001438135 982__ $$aEbook 001438135 983__ $$aOnline 001438135 994__ $$a92$$bISE
