Description

This comprehensive guide to Gothic studies explores the key issues and debates in the field. Divided into four parts, it covers the origins and development of the term 'Gothic', its evolution in literature and non-literary forms, and examines major writers and their works.

Authoritative readings of key texts are also featured, including works from Horace Walpole to Bret Easton Ellis. The guide delves into recurrent concerns such as persecution and paranoia, and explores motifs like the haunted castle and the vampire. Supplementary material includes a chronology of key Gothic texts and a guide to further reading.

With its authoritative approach and comprehensive coverage, this guide is an essential resource for anyone studying or interested in the Gothic genre.
