"Mit der Durchsetzung des Kapitalismus und der Industrialisierung entsteht im frühen 19. Jahrhundert aus verarmten Handwerkern, städtischem Pöbel, umherziehenden ländlichen Unterschichten, bankrotten Adligen und nicht zuletzt freigesetzten prekären Intellektuellen jenes neue soziale Kollektiv, das man in der Sprache der Zeit bald das Proletariat nennen wird. Allerdings existierte dieses zunächst noch nicht als formierte, homogene Klasse mit angeschlossenen politischen Parteien, die den Weg in die bessere Zukunft vorgeben. Die buntscheckige Erscheinung, die Träume und Sehnsüchte dieser allen ständischen Sicherheiten entrissenen Gestalten fanden neue Formen des Erzählens in romantischen Novellen, Reportagen, sozialstatistischen Untersuchungen, Monatsbulletins. Doch schon bald wurden sie - ungeordnet, gewaltvoll, nostalgisch, irrlichternd und utopisch, wie sie waren - von den Vordenkern der Arbeiterbewegung als reaktionär und anarchisch verunglimpft, weil sie nicht in die gro�e lineare Fortschrittsvision passen wollten. In seiner bahnbrechenden Studie verhilft Patrick Eiden-Offe dem lange verdrängten romantischen Antikapitalismus zu seinem Recht und befreit die Sozial- und Literaturgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts aus ihren eindimensionalen Sichtachsen. Dabei wird nicht zuletzt deutlich, dass die historische, poetisch besungene unordentliche Klasse den heutigen Figuren von Prekarität nach dem Ende der alten Arbeitsgesellschaft verblüffend ähnlich ist." --Amazon web site, viewed 9/7/2017

In this book, Simmons argues that class, as much as race and gender, played a significant role in the development of Gothic and Horror fiction in a national context. From the classic texts of Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne right through to contemporary examples, such as the novels of Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Series, class remains an ever present though understudied element. This study will appeal to scholars of American Studies, English literature, Media and Cultural Studies interested in class representations in the horror genre from the nineteenth century to the present day.
