    Gothic forms of feminine fictions is a study of the powers of the Gothic in late twentieth-century fiction and film. Susanne Becker argues that the Gothic, two hundred years after it emerged, exhibits renewed vitality in our media age with its obsession for stimulation and excitement.; Today's globalised entertainment culture, relying on soaps, reality TV shows, celebrity and excess, is reflected in the emotional trajectory of the Gothic's violence, eroticism and sentimental excess.; Gothic forms of feminine fictions discusses a wide range of anglophone Gothic romances, from the classics through pulp fictions to a postmodern Gothica. This timely and original study is a major contribution to gender and genre theory as well as cultural criticism of the contemporary. It will appeal to scholars in a wide range of fields and become essential for students of the Gothic, contemporary fiction, particularly Alice Munro and Margaret Atwood, and popular culture Introduction; Part I GOTHIC FORMS - FEMININE TEXTS; 1 Gothic contextualisation; Experience - Excess! - Escape?; 2 Gothic texture; Subjectivity - Interrogativity - Monstrosity; 3 Gothic intertextuality; Filliation - Pulp/Horror/Romance - Canadian connections; Part II NEO-GOTHICISM: FROM HOUSES OF FICTION TO TEXTURES OF DRESS; 4 Exploring Gothic contextualisation: Alice Munro and Lives of Girls and Women; Gothicising experience - The subject-in-the-making - Connectedness; 5 Exceeding even gothic texture: Margaret Atwood and Lady Oracle; Re-experiencing gothicism - The subject-in-excess - Terrific excapes; 6 Stripping the gothci: Aritha van Herk; Border experience - The subject-in-process - Escaping (en)closure; Part III GOTHIC TIMES AGAIN: TWO HUNDRED YEARS AFTER RADCLIFFE; 7 The neogothic experience; 8 Exceeding postmodernism; 9 Global escapes; Bibliography
