Produktbeschreibung

Taxidermy and the Gothic: The Horror of Still Life is the first extended study of the Gothicâ s collusion with taxidermy. Focusing on contemporary cultural and material texts, it shows how taxidermyâ s imbrication with Gothic horror is more than skin deep: these are rich discourses stuffed by affinities for corporeal transgressions, the uncanny, and the counterfeit.
