From early examples of queer representation in mainstream media to present-day dissolutions of the human-nature boundary, the Gothic is always concerned with delineating and transgressing the norms that regulate society and speak to our collective fears and anxieties.

This volume examines British and American Gothic texts from four centuries and diverse media - including novels, films, podcasts, and games - in case studies which outline the central relationship between the Gothic and transgression, particularly gender(ed) and sexual transgression. This relationship is both crucial and constantly shifting, ever in the process of renegotiation, as transgression defines the Gothic and society redefines transgression. The case studies draw on a combination of well-studied and under-studied texts in order to arrive at a more comprehensive picture of transgression in the Gothic.

Pointing the way forward in Gothic Studies, this original and nuanced combination of gendered, Ecogothic, queer, and media critical approaches addresses established and new scholars of the Gothic alike.

Sarah Faber's central research areas are Game Studies, the fantastic, and nineteenth-century British literature, united by an overarching interest in narrative technique and constructions of (especially queer and/or gendered) identity and belonging. She completed her studies at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, where she wrote her doctoral thesis on narration in multiplayer games. She was a research and teaching associate at JGU Mainz for five years and a fellow at Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences for two. She has been a board member of the German Association for Research in the Fantastic since 2022.

Kerstin-Anja Münderlein is a lecturer and post-doc at the Institute of English and American Studies (Department of English Literature) at the University of Bamberg where she completed her PhD on Gothic parody in 2019. Her fields of research include Gothic novels and parodies of the long eighteenth century with a focus on quixotism and normative femininity, British poetry of the Great War (especially Vera Brittain's writings), and the constructions of femininities and masculinities in English Golden Age crime fiction. Her methodological focus lies on Gender Studies, audience, and reception theory. She is assistant editor for Crime Fiction Studies and currently edits a themed issue on gender and crime for the journal. Her most recent publications include Genre and Reception in the Gothic Parody: Framing the Subversive Heroine (Routledge, 2022) and the edited collection Crime Fiction, Femininities and Masculinities (forthcoming 2024).
