Synopsis
Just as dreams have long been associated with the unconscious, ghost stories have often served as forums for otherwise unapproachable issues. This volume brings together a lively selection of ghost stories by women writers, who use the genre to reveal and challenge prevailing cultural discourses on the nature and status of women. Depicting marriage, motherhood, female sexuality, spinsterhood, widowhood, and the intersection of madness and medical practice, the authors displace their critiques of dominant ideologies onto the supernatural, thus shielding themselves from critical recrimination. Their evocative works provide a resource for insights into women's writing and lives., "This is an important collection for anyone -- scholars and general readers alike -- interested in American supernatural literature. It makes accessible stories long buried in literary obscurity. Their recovery offers not only an opportunity for pleasurable reading, but also a wider context for American ghost stories especially those written by women". -- Lynette Carpenter
