Full Description
Dr. Behr has an engaging and lively mode of dealing with her chosen subject, one which is in itself an attractive and original one, moving as it does beyond the conventional stereotypes of the Gothic to reach a number of convincing reassessments of both gender and genre in this context. The examination of the various aspects of male identity is insightful and controlled and, Dr. Behr's facility for the apposite and pithy phrase cuts to the heart of the discussion, facilitating the flow of her ideas.
