The Gothic and death
2017,2023
Overview
The Gothic and death offers the first ever published study
devoted to the subject of the Gothic and death across the
centuries. It investigates how the multifarious strands of the
Gothic and the concepts of death, dying, mourning and
memorialisation ('the Death Question') - have intersected and been
configured cross-culturally to diverse ends from the mid-eighteenth
century to the present day. Drawing on recent scholarship in such
fields as Gothic Studies, film theory, Women's and Gender Studies
and Thanatology Studies, this interdisciplinary collection of
fifteen essays by international scholars combines an attention to
socio-historical and cultural contexts with a rigorous close
reading of works, both classic and lesser known. This area of
enquiry is considered by way of such popular and uncanny figures as
corpses, ghosts, zombies and vampires, and across various cultural
and literary forms such as Graveyard Poetry, Romantic poetry,
Victorian literature, nineteenth-century Italian and Russian
literature, Anglo-American film and television, contemporary Young
Adult fiction and Bollywood film noir.
