This talk moves beyond reductive discussions of the 'female gothic' to look at the role women played in the theorisation, adaptation, popularity, publishing and writing of the Gothic. From early theorisations of terror to women publishers churning out Gothic tales for a popular audience, from best selling authors to the women working in the translating trenches of the cheap Gothic market, from innovative reworkings of the genre to taking the theatre by storm - this talk explores the many roles women played in the rise of the Gothic.
