Queer characters are often tragic, titillating, monstrous, or a combination of the three. Drawing from a range of genres such as poetry, short fiction, and novel, including Carmilla, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and The Picture of Dorian Gray, this course examines queer sexuality’s treatment in Gothic narratives and in 19th century culture. Our conversation will also focus on our contemporary positionality, using 20th and 21st century gender/queer theory to enrich our readings of these texts and their ongoing role in cultural discourse.
