Provides a scholarly account of the striking interplay between the Gothic and theory over two-and-a-half centuries

This collection provides a thorough representation of the early and ongoing conversation between Gothic and theory - philosophical, aesthetic, psychological and cultural - both in the many modes of Gothic and in many of the realms of theory now current in the modern world. Each essay focuses on a particular kind of theory-Gothic relationship, every one of which has a history and each of which is still being explored in enactments of the Gothic and of theory today. 

Key Features

  • Provides the first detailed discussion of the interrelationship between literary theory and the Gothic from the inception of the Gothic to the present day
  • Enables students to connect what otherwise seem a wide variety of diverse phenomena, from the rise of philosophical 'emotivism' to poetic tales of terror and Gothic film
  • Advances current scholarly investigation, by invigorating debates within both Gothic studies and literary theory.
  • Makes connections between a wide variety of issues, from eco-crisis and contemporary culture wars to the persistent problem of the 'other' 
Industry Reviews
The Gothic and Theory gives readers different ways to think about the relationship between theory and the gothic. It will be especially useful for those who teach classes on the gothic in a transhistorical and transnational way, and it makes a convincing argument that the gothic remains one of the most productive forms in which to think through our contemporary cultural problems.--Peter DeGabriele, Mississippi State University "Eighteenth-Century Fiction"
