Medusa's Daughters: Magic and Monstrosity from Women Writers of the Fin-De-Siècle

The witchy women are Medusa's daughters indeed--their gaze kills. But rather than sending heroes to slay them, the writers of this collection celebrate the deadliness of these femmes fatales. After a period of decline, Gothic literature underwent a revival at the end of the 1800s. As the century turned, women writers such as Vernon Lee, Mary Coleridge, and Rosamund Mariott Watson left an indelible mark on fantasy and horror literature. Like Medusa herself, their poetry and short stories embody the very essence of magic and monstrosity. Curated and annotated by award-winning fantasy author and Victorianist Theodora Goss, this collection of rare and strange gems serves as a tantalizing sampler of work by fin-de-si cle women writers, whose legacy still echoes in the speculative fiction we know and love today.
