This thesis aims to investigate the relationship between women and the home by means of chronotope theory, phenomenology and the concept of the uncanny in three classic New England Gothic works: Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The House of the Seven Gables, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wall-Paper”, and Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House. By viewing the chronotope of the Gothic home as the organising device for heroine-centred Gothic literature, this thesis ultimately makes a case for the view that time and space can be used for subversive feminist purposes in Gothic fiction by calling attention to patriarchal power structures in the home.
