Cinderella in Spain: Variations of the Story as Socio-Ethical Texts by Maia Fernández-Lamaque (review)

Abstract

Book Reviews encounters with men as the precursor to romantic relationships, a surprisingly troubling trend in the #MeToo era” (255–56). Ultimately, this collection offers a fascinating view on both the potential and lingering problems of Gothic literature for young adults. This is especially relevant as we consider the growing body of twenty-first-century Gothic works to meet the demand of adolescents. Analyzing the reason for this demand, as well as the effects, can help us to understand the landscape that young adults perceive as they move into adulthood. The impressive variety of contributors and scholarship in this volume offers a wonderful contribution to the ongoing study of Gothic literature not just for young adult fiction, but for Gothic fiction in general.
