The
Gothic World of Anne Rice
Edited by Gary Hoppenstand and Ray B. Browne
Popular Press
This anthology argues for the serious study of the literary oeuvre
of Anne Rice, a major figure in today's popular literature. The
essays assert that Rice expands the conventions of the horror
genre's formula to examine important social issues. Like a handful
of authors working in this genre, Rice manipulates its otherwise
predictable narrative structures so that a larger, more interesting
cultural mythology can be developed. Rice searches for philosophical
truth, examining themes of good and evil, the influence on people
and society of both nature and nurture, and the conflict and
dependence of humanism and science.
