Gothic Metamorphoses across the Centuries: Contexts, Legacies, Media - Critical Perspectives on English and American Literature, Communication and Culture 23 (Paperback)
Maurizio Ascari (editor), Serena Baiesi (editor), David Levente Palatinus (editor)Published: 23/12/2019
This collection of essays brings together an international team of scholars with the aim to shed new light on various interconnected aspects of the Gothic through the lens of converging critical and methodological approaches. With its wide-ranging interdisciplinary perspective, the book explores the domains of literary, pictorial, filmic, televisual and popular cultural texts in English from the eighteenth century to the present day. Within these pages, the Gothic is discussed as a dynamic form that exceeds the concept of literary genre, proving able to renovate and adapt through constant processes of hybridisation. Investigating the hypothesis that the Gothic returns in times of cultural crisis, this study maps out transgressive and experimental modes conducive to alternative experiences of the intricacies of the human (and post-human) condition.
