Le Gothic

This new collection of essays by major scholars in the field looks at the ways in which cross-fertilization has taken place in Gothic writing from France, Germany, Britain and America over the last 200 years, and argues that Gothic writing reflects international exchanges in theme and form.

'Le Gothic makes essential reading for both comparativists and scholars of the genre.' Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts
