Beskrivning
London has taken a central role in urban Gothic, from key canonic texts like Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Dracula through modern Gothic texts to the 'tourist gothic' of rebranded gastropubs and ghost tours.As a specific category, London Gothic is becoming as important for understanding ourselves today as it has been for thinking about the cultural productions of the late-nineteenth century. This is the first book to focus on Gothic representations of London, offering a range of essays from established and new scholars reading London Gothic as it is manifested in a variety of media and through varied critical approaches.

Recensioner i media

'Anne Witchard and Lawrence Phillips's compelling collection of essays locates the Gothic from the late 19th century to the present squarely in London geography from Bloomsbury to the suburbs. London Gothic develops a social analysis of the Gothic through novels, film and performance by drawing on a stimulating array of theoretical perspectives, from urban mappings to ecocriticism, thus contributing significantly to the study of the representation of London in literature and culture.'
