"History Digs a Shallow Grave": Queer Temporality in Emily M. Danforth's Lesbian Gothic

Danforth’s Plain Bad Heroines (2020) revels in the disruption of time through erotic physicality. Because the Gothic and the queer break the bounds of normative constructions of time, the horror of Plain Bad Heroines arrives in the effect that queer Gothic time has on queer bodies by allowing them to delight in rejecting linearity while they run the risk of destabilizing their identities as they encounter the past. This article demonstrates that such disruption is particularly prevalent in neo-Victorian lesbian Gothic fiction by reading the novel through Freeman’s (2010) concept of erotohistoriography in two ways: first, by focusing on the way queer time effects and facilitates queer embodiment through the setting(s). Second, Gothic doubling is both an erotic and disorderly element of queer time’s effect on the lesbian body in Plain Bad Heroines. Temporal collapse allows the characters to encounter each other and the past, but with dire consequences.

“历史挖了一个浅坟墓”:艾米丽·M·丹福斯的女同性恋哥特式中的酷儿暂时性

丹福斯的《普通坏女主角》(2020)热衷于通过色情身体来扰乱时间。因为哥特式和酷儿打破了时间规范结构的界限, 《普通坏女主角》的恐怖就体现在酷儿哥特时间对酷儿身体的影响上,让他们以拒绝线性为乐,同时冒着破坏自己身份稳定的风险。当他们遇到过去时。本文通过两种方式通过弗里曼(2010)的色情史学概念来阅读小说,证明这种破坏在新维多利亚女同性恋哥特式小说中尤为普遍:首先,通过关注酷儿时间影响并通过背景促进酷儿体现的方式( s)。其次,哥特式的双重化既是酷儿时代对《普通坏女主角》中女同性恋身体影响的色情和无序元素。时间崩溃让角色们相遇并遇见过去,但带来了可怕的后果。
