Dangerous bodies : historicising the gothic corporeal / Marie Mulvey-Roberts. - 1 online resource - Manchester Gothic . - Manchester Gothic (Manchester, England). .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Catholicism, the Gothic and the bleeding body -- Mary Shelley, Frankenstein and slavery -- Death by orgasm: sexual surgery and Dracula -- Nazis, Jews and Nosferatu -- The vampire of war -- Conclusion: conflict Gothic.
Through an investigation of the body and its oppression by the church, the medical profession and the state, 'Dangerous Bodies' reveals the actual horrors lying beneath fictional horror in settings as diverse as the monastic community, slave plantation, operating theatre, Jewish ghetto and battlefield trench. It demonstrates how the Gothic corpus is haunted by a tangible sense of corporeality, often at its most visceral.
