In particular, Cold War anxieties found a welcome home in regional forms of Gothic fiction that already mediated anxieties about threats to local power structures: white supremacy, patriarchy, and colonialism, as well as capitalism. James Morgart argues that postwar Gothic fiction in the United States should be understood through these local anxieties and narratives first, before reading for national resonances. Through a series of localized readings--in the South, the Midwest, New England, New York, and California--Morgart reveals more than a century of regionalized angst behind the twentieth-century American Gothic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Morgart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786838761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786838766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"James Morgart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074868343039,"sku":"9781786838766","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9d6ef6c9-2b42-45c5-958e-94029f2dec71.jpg?v=1685456242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-haunted-states-of-america-james-morgart-9781786838766","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
