THE NATURE OF THE BEAST
SERIES PREFACE
Gothic Literary Studies is dedicated to publishing groundbreaking scholarship on Gothic in literature and film. The Gothic, which has been subjected to a variety of critical and theoretical approaches, is a form which plays an important role in our understanding of literary, intellectual and cultural histories. The series seeks to promote challenging and innovative approaches to Gothic which question any aspect of the Gothic tradition or perceived critical orthodoxy. Volumes in the series explore how issues such as gender, religion, nation and sexuality have shaped our view of the Gothic tradition. Both academically rigorous and informed by the latest developments in critical theory, the series provides an important focus for scholarly developments in Gothic studies, literary studies, cultural studies and critical theory. The series will be of interest to students of all levels and to scholars and teachers of the Gothic and literary and cultural histories.

To my husband Nick
And to my Mum, and also my Dad.
You know I always like giving books as presents.
Thanks are due to my family: my husband, my parents, my sister Bethan and her partner James and my in-laws, the Anderton family, for their support and endless patience.
Thanks of an academic nature are due to Professor Emerita Jacqueline Pearson, for guiding me with patience and rigour through the PhD that would provide the foundation for this work. Lively discussion and encouragement were provided by Dr Catherine Spooner, Dr Daisy Black, Dr Hannah Priest, and everyone who attended the splendid Company of Wolves conference at the University of Hertfordshire in September 2015. My editor at University of Wales Press, Sarah Lewis, was immensely patient and helpful when dealing with a first-time author. Thanks also to everyone who attended the brilliant She-Wolf Conference at The University of Manchester in September 2010, in particular Chantal Bourgault Du Coudray, whose work I draw on heavily here, and Jazmina Cininas. Apologies if I have forgotten anyone, which is likely, and thanks all the same.
