“My Hideous Progeny”: Creative Monstrosity in the Works of Kiki Smith, Abigail ...
Lima, Maria AntóniaThe expression “My Hideous Progeny” is widely known to be taken from Mary Shelley’s preface to the revised edition of Frankenstein (1831), in which she wrote, of the novel itself and of its creature, Frankenstein’s monster. This paper argues that, if the monster is seen not only as the product of Frankenstein’s workshop of filthy creation, but also as the child from whom Frankenstein as parent recoils in hor...
"Schoolhouse Gothic: A New Direction for Gothic Studies" .

“ ‘All Things are Double’ – Eudora Welty’s prismatic view”
Lima, Maria AntóniaAbstract: This essay argues that Eudora Welty’s vision was influenced by the American Gothic tradition, with its emphasis on doubleness and mystery.

Lima, Maria AntóniaWhen David Punter said that “all writing is ‘haunted’ by the shapes of all that is not” (1998:2), he knew that every artist faces this dark abyss and the fear of being haunted by all that was produced in the past.
