Analyzing canonical works by Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, Gilman, and James, Monnet persuasively argues that these authors' concerns about slavery, gender, and sexuality tacitly inform works that deal explicitly with less controversial subjects. 588 0 Print version record. 648 7 1800 - 1899|2fast 650 0 Judgment in literature. 650 0 American fiction|y19th century|xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Sex in literature. 650 0 Slavery in literature. 650 0 Judgment (Ethics)|zUnited States|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Gothic revival (Literature)|zUnited States. 650 7 LITERARY CRITICISM|xAmerican|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 American fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00807048 650 7 Gothic revival (Literature)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00945084 650 7 Judgment (Ethics)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00984586 650 7 Judgment in literature.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00984602 650 7 Sex in literature.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01114464 650 7 Slavery in literature.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01120515 650 7 roman noir américain (Etats-Unis)|xsexe (genre)|y19e s. |2rero 650 7 esclavage|xroman noir américain (Etats-Unis)|y19e s.|2rero 650 7 jugement (philosophie)|xlittérature américaine|y19e s. |2rero 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMonnet, Agnieszka Soltysik.|tPoetics and politics of the American gothic.|dFarnham, Surrey, England ; Burlington, VT : Ashgate, 2010|w(DLC) 2009042375 914 ocn647926049 994 93|bGTK
