The Palgrave Handbook of the Southern Gothic
African American author Richard Wright is best known for his novels dealing with the early twentieth-century urban ghetto, such as Native Son (1940) and The Outsider (1953), both of which draw extensively on the Gothic. However, his most terrifying work is the collection of short stories set in the rural South of his youth. In Uncle Tom's Children (1938), Wright presents a dark landscape shaped by fear, racial contempt and moral monstrosity. This…
The Salem witchcraft trials

Taking a selection of plays, printed dialogues, travel narratives and lexicographic studies in English, Spanish and French, the book explores both European and indigenous writers of the early Americas. Paying particular atte…
Nothing that is earthly
Recent scholarship on the early Americas has posited performance as the site where colonial difference is enacted. This article examines the ways in which performance was used to disseminate (and conversely, to subvert) Christian ideology in New Spain, in dialogic texts such as Sahagún's Colloquios and in missionary plays by Father Andrés de Olmos and others
