{"product_id":"the-gothic-body-kelly-hurley-9780521552592","title":"The Gothic Body: Sexuality, Materialism, and Degeneration at the Fin de Siecle","description":"This book accounts for the resurgence of Gothic, and its immense popularity, during the British fin de siècle. In particular, Kelly Hurley explores a key scenario that haunts the genre: the loss of a unified and stable human identity, and the emergence of a chaotic and transformative \"abhuman\" identity in its place. Gothic is revealed as a highly productive and speculative genre, strongly indebted to nineteenth-century scientific, medical and social theories, including evolutionism, criminal anthropology and degeneration theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelly Hurley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521552591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521552592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Kelly Hurley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46465463222527,"sku":"9780521552592","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d94f005-6632-481d-b16a-4bf352dece94.jpg?v=1736346318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gothic-body-kelly-hurley-9780521552592","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
