Series Statement:
Edinburgh companions to the gothic
Content:
Written from various critical standpoints by internationally renowned scholars, 〈i〉Scottish Gothic: An Edinburgh Companion〈/i〉 interrogates the ways in which the concepts of the Gothic and Scotland have intersected and been manipulated from the mid-eighteenth century to the present day. This interdisciplinary collection is the first ever published study to investigate the multifarious strands of Gothic in Scottish fiction, poetry, theatre and film. Its contributors - all specialists in their fields - combine an attention to socio-historical and cultural contexts with a rigorous close reading of works, both classic and lesser known, produced between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries.
