COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION
A richly illustrated history of the Gothic across a wide range of
media, including architecture, literature, and filmThe word
Gothic conjures associations with the dark and melancholy,
the weird and feared, and haunted places and people. In
Gothic, Roger Luckhurst offers readers an unprecedented look
at the ways this uncanny style has manifested itself through
architecture, literature, film, art, video games, and more. From
the works of Victor Hugo and E. T. A. Hoffmann to Southern
Gothic, ancient folklore, and classic horror movies, Luckhurst
explores how an aesthetic that began in the margins has been
reinvented through the centuries to become part of
mainstream global culture.Organizing his wide-ranging history
by theme, Luckhurst begins with Gothic architecture and form,
including such elements as the arch, the house, and ruins. He
considers how the Gothic is depicted in rural and urban
settings, as well as in the wilderness and borderlands. And he
delves into Gothic traditions and settings around the world,
from the sublime Alps and Australian outback to the Arctic
wasteland, from the dark folkloric realm of the forest to the
postindustrial landscapes of abandoned hospitals and
asylums, and then beyond the bounds of the planet to
unknowable cosmic horror. Luckhurst investigates the
monsters that mirror ourselves and society, and demonstrates
that as the Gothic has traveled across the globe and through
time, it has morphed according to the shape of our changing
fears and anxieties.Filled with a wealth of color illustrations,
Gothic will enthrall anyone yearning to lift the veil on our
fascination with the eerie, morbid, and supernatural.
