Analysis by David J. Jones of the erotic themes surrounding magic lantern shows and the shows' influence on the depiction of sexuality in Gothic fiction. Contains re-readings of works including Charlotte Bronte's 'Villette', Sheridan Le Fanu's 'Carmilla', Bram Stoker's 'Dracula', even Byron's 'Don Juan.' The author emphasises the magic lantern's ability to express diverse sexualities and, by extension, change the interpretation of Gothic literature.
