- More about Star Trek Discovery and the Female Gothic: Tell Fear No
Star Trek Discovery draws on the Female Gothic formula of Ann Radcliffes romance novels, combining mystery, gothic villain and heroine, escape narrative, and supernatural elements, expanding Star Trek scholarship and shedding new light on intertextual connections between gothic literature and contemporary science fiction.
Format: Unspecified
Length: 198 pages
Publication date: 15 November 2023
Publisher: Lexington Books
While scholars widely acknowledge the Gothic mode's historical significance as a precursor to science fiction, Carey Millsap-Spears takes a novel approach in her book by contending that the made-for-streaming series Star Trek Discovery draws upon an even older Gothic formula. Specifically, she explores the Female Gothic, a literary genre prevalent in Ann Radcliffe's romance novels, such as The Romance of the Forest and The Mysteries of Udolpho. Millsap-Spears employs a feminist lens to analyze the streaming series, revealing that each season incorporates the formulaic elements of a mystery, a gothic villain and heroine, an escape narrative, and the explication of supernatural phenomena. By doing so, the author not only contributes to the expansion of Star Trek scholarship but also sheds new light on the intricate intertextual connections between gothic literature and contemporary science fiction.
