Description

The Grotesque: A Complex Literary Term Explored Justin D. Edwards and Rune Graulund provide an accessible guide to understanding the use and abuse of this multifaceted literary term, examining its influence across various cultural forms throughout history. From classical writing to contemporary literature, visual art, and film, the authors explore the representation of the grotesque in different contexts, including theoretical debates around the term. They introduce readers to key writers and artists associated with the genre, shedding light on its significance in queer theory, post-colonialism, and the carnivalesque. This book offers an original overview of the grotesque, making it a valuable resource for students of literature, art history, and film studies seeking to understand this vital genre.
