Publisher Summary 1
Postcolonial theory and scholarship on the Gothic are not generally thought to have much to do with each other, but here scholars of literature from Britain and anglophone North America read Gothic images of alienation, fragmentation, and otherness through the lens of postcolonial ideas relating to alterity. The juxtaposition raises questions both about the Gothic and about the assumed unproblematical periodization of the colonial and postcolonial.

Publisher Summary 2
This innovative volume considers the relationship between the Gothic and theories of Post-Colonialism. Contributors explore how writers such as Salman Rushdie, Arunhati Roy, and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala use the Gothic for postcolonial ends. Post-Colonial theory is applied to earlier Gothic narratives in order to re-examine the ostensibly colonialist writings of William Beckford, Charlotte Dacre, H. Rider Haggard, and Bram Stoker.
