American Horror Fiction and Class

Know about the book -

American Horror Fiction and Class is written by David Simmons and published by Springer. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1137532807 (ISBN 10) and 9781137532800 (ISBN 13).

In this book, Simmons argues that class, as much as race and gender, played a significant role in the development of Gothic and Horror fiction in a national context. From the classic texts of Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne right through to contemporary examples, such as the novels of Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Series, class remains an ever present though understudied element. This study will appeal to scholars of American Studies, English literature, Media and Cultural Studies interested in class representations in the horror genre from the nineteenth century to the present day.
