Degeneration, Normativity And The Gothic At The Fin De Siècle (Palgrave Studies In Nineteenth-Century Writing And Culture)

This exciting new study looks at degeneration and deviance in nineteenth-century science and late-Victorian Gothic fiction. The questions it raises are as relevant today as they were at the nineteenth century's fin de siecle: What constitutes the norm from which a deviation has occurred? What exactly does it mean to be 'normal' or 'abnormal'?
