Summary:
"What do the eighteenth-century Gothic novels, typified by Ann
Radcliffe, have to do with sixth-century racial histories of the
Ostrogoths, or with the so-called "Gothicist" historiography about
England's "ancient constitution" that was prominent during the Civil
War?
Rethinking and adapting the theoretical framework and critical
methods of Michael Foucault's archaeology of knowledge and arguments
about power relations, Edward Jacobs's Accidental Migrations offers a
new consideration of the nature of the Gothic.".
"This researched and closely argued study demonstrates how, despite
their substantive and circumstantial disparity, all of the discursive
traditions associated with the English word "Gothic" make language
interact with the same four fundamental activities: migration,
collection and display, balance, and rediscovery."--BOOK JACKET.
