A short course in the 19th century monsters that haunt the British imagination: Samuel Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Christabel ( what can be said and not said before one is ostracized from the community): Mary Shelley's Bram Stoker's Dracula (the anxiety of the east for British imperialism and its connection to gender roles): and Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde (the pressure of representing benevolent patriarchy as desire rears its very ugly head).
