Description

Screening the Gothic explores how filmmakers have drawn upon the Gothic tradition in their work. Lisa Hopkins examines a range of films, from those that are overtly Gothic to more subtle examples, revealing surprising connections between literature and cinema. Hopkins' study reveals that the relationship between film and the Gothic is complex, with some texts becoming less Gothic when adapted for the screen. This book offers a fresh perspective on the genre, shedding new light on films such as Sense and Sensibility and The Mummy. Written in an accessible and engaging manner, Screening the Gothic will be of interest to both film enthusiasts and scholars of literature.
