TO G OTHIC

In a wide-ranging series of introductory essays written by some of the leading

ﬁ gures in the ﬁ eld, this essential guide explores the world of Gothic in all its

myriad forms from the mid- eighteenth century to the internet age.

The Routledge Companion to Gothic includes discussions on:

•

the history of Gothic

•

Gothic throughout the English-speaking world, from London and the United

States to the postcolonial landscapes of Australia, Canada and the Indian

subcontinent

•

key themes and concepts including hauntings and the uncanny, Gothic femi-

ninities and queer Gothic

•

Gothic in the modern world, from youth culture to graphic novels and ﬁ lms.

Covering a vast array of textual examples from the canonical to the contem-

porary, this book is one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date guides to the

diverse and murky world of the Gothic in literature, ﬁ lm and culture.
