Edinburgh Companion to Globalgothic

Rebecca Duncan is Researcher in Literature at the Linnaeus University Centre for Concurrences in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies, where she co-ordinates the “Aesthetics of Empire” Research Cluster. She is the editor/co-editor of several collections, including ‘Decolonising Gothic,’ a special issue of Gothic Studies (Nov. 2022). Her recent work appears in the journals ARIEL (2020) and Interventions (2020; 2022), and in collections for Palgrave (2021), Bloomsbury (2022) and University of Minnesota Press (2022). Her first monograph, South African Gothic (2018), was shortlisted for the 2019 Allan Lloyd Smith Memorial Prize. Rebecca is recipient of a Riksbankens Jubileumsfond Project Grant (2021-24).

To say that Rebecca Duncan's The Edinburgh Companion to Globalgothic is cutting edge doesn’t do it justice. It is an astonishing collection that will reconfigure the field of Gothic studies and define its direction for years to come. It is an absolutely essential work.
