<p>The following review discusses the recent book by Marie Mulvey-Roberts,<br>
Dangerous Bodies: Historicising the Gothic Corporeal (Manchester UP, 2016), which<br>
offers a historical perspective on gothic literary and cultural texts. In the book,<br>
Mulvey-Roberts examines how gothic fiction represents the bodies of the Other<br>
– the Catholic, the slave, the woman, the Jew, and so on – on which the history<br>
cannibalistically feeds itself; a meticulous historical research allows her to shed<br>
new light on both canonical as well as more marginal gothic texts. This review offers<br>
an overview and a brief comment on this significant addition to gothic studies.</p>
