Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2012. The Gothic: Studies in History, Identity and Space offers a critical examination of gothic elements in fiction, film and popular culture texts from the beginnings of the genre to the present. The articles collected in the volume explore questions of identity, space, history and social equilibrium as portrayed through a distinctly Gothic imagery. Tracing a gothic itinerary through different times and places - from the English classic Gothic novels and their Italian counterpart to postcolonial and postmodern fiction and to contemporary film and fashion - it presents a persuasive account of how and why the Gothic continues to fascinate readers and critics alike.
