  • Features in-depth articles written by well-known and emerging scholars from around the world
  • Addresses topics such as the Gothic tradition, film and dramatic adaptation, psychoanalytic approaches, the influence of religion, and political and legal questions of the day – from divorce and female disinheritance, to worker reform

"Through brief overviews within each article situating its focus within scholarly, historical, cultural, literary, and/ or thematic contexts, and more sustained analysis of the given topic, including close readings, this companion provides a rewarding blend of insights for a range of readers and scholars."
