Reviews
“Stephan Karschay examines the prominent questions posed by degeneration theory–what causes human deviance and how can it be detected–by tracing the complex development of degeneration theory … . Degeneration, Normativity and the Gothic at the Fin de Siècle offers readers a productive place to begin interdisciplinary endeavors in Gothic literature, science, and the genealogy of degeneration theory.” (Sharla Hutchison, English Literature in Transition, Vol. 59 (3), January, 2016)
