About The Book

Description

Author

American Gothic literature inherited many time-worn tropes from its English Gothic precursor along with a core preoccupation: anxiety about power and property. Yet the transatlantic journey left its mark on the genre--the English ghostly setting becomes the wilderness haunted by spectral Indians. The aristocratic villain is replaced by the striving independent young man. The dispossession of Native Americans and African Americans adds urgency to traditional Gothic anxieties about possession.
