| dc.description.abstract | Starting with an examination of some of the gothic tropes used to narrate India in colonial literature (fiction and non-fiction), this paper will look at some highly visible postcolonial narratives of/about India and compare them to 19th century Gothic narratives. It will argue that the problem of narrating otherness can only be resolved partially – and in very different ways – by Gothic narratives and postcolonial ones. It will propose that the imperial Gothic sometimes manages to address aspects of colonial otherness that overtly postcolonial texts cannot access. | es_ES |
