ISBN10: 1421407175, ISBN13: 9781421407173, [publisher: Johns Hopkins UP] Hardcover Portraits play important roles, often as a means of identification, in the first wave of Gothic fiction, reflecting contemporary discourses about portraiture’s relation to class politics, power and social identities.
