      abstract = {This book explores women writers' involvement with the  Gothic. The author sheds new light on women's experience, a  viewpoint that remains largely absent from male-authored  Colonial Gothic works. The book investigates how women  writers appropriated the Gothic genre--and its emphasis on  fear, isolation, troubled identity, racial otherness, and  sexual deviancy--in order to take these anxieties into the  farthest realms of the British Empire. The chapters show  how Gothic themes told from a woman's perspective emerge in  unique ways when set in the different colonial regions that  comprise the scope of this book: Canada, the Caribbean,  Africa, India, Australia, and New Zealand. Edmundson argues  that women's Colonial Gothic writing tends to be more  critical of imperialism, and thereby more subversive, than  that of their male counterparts. This book will be of  interest to students and academics interested in women's  writing, the Gothic, and colonial studies.},
