Grab Instantly Sexuality And The Gothic Magic Lantern: Desire, Eroticism And Literary Visibilities From Byron To Bram Stoker By David J. Jones Available As EPub

fascinating study explores the multifarious erotic themes associated with the magic lantern shows, which proved the dominant visual medium of the West foryears, and analyses how the shows influenced the portrayals of sexuality in major works of Gothic fiction.
It offers vivid, new readings of works as varied as Charlotte Brönte's Villette and Bram Stoker's Dracula,

and even uses clues suggested by magic lantern references to discover the meaning of the amorous entanglement described in the last extant stanzas of Byron's Don Juan.
The first booklength consideration of the erotic associations connected with lantern shows, Jones reinstates the lanterns' importance for past generations in their visualization and expression of diverse sexualities and argues that an understanding of these influences serves fundamentally to change our reading of Gothic literature.
