Diane Long Hoeveler examines the Gothic novels of Charlotte Smith, Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen, Charlotte Dacre Byrne, Mary Shelley and the Brontes to show how these writers helped define femininity for women of the British middle class. It offers both a new understanding of the genre and a wholly new interpretation of feminism as a literary ideology.
