{"product_id":"property-and-power-in-english-ruth-bienstock-anolik-9780786498505","title":"Property and Power in English Gothic Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003e Eighteenth-century England witnessed major social and economic changes, including the commodification of property, person and text through legal containments--enclosure, coverture, primogeniture, copyright. English Gothic authors responded with tropes that worked to dispel the assurances of possession--the contested castle, the beleaguered yet enduring woman, the haunting ghost, the disjointed narrative--warning that seemingly mundane codes of ownership have menacing implications, such as the civil death of women through marriage. This book explores the masterplot of the English Gothic text as a response to the Enlightenment's rational certainty regarding possession of self, property and narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Bienstock Anolik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786498501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786498505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Ruth Bienstock Anolik","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483689234687,"sku":"9780786498505","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_161a6ea9-60c5-42ea-a248-f05a0090a250.jpg?v=1778040021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/property-and-power-in-english-ruth-bienstock-anolik-9780786498505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
