The New Urban Gothic Global Gothic in the Age of the Anthropocene Luke Roberts Edited by Holly-Gale Millette · Ruth Heholt
Palgrave Gothic
Series Editor Clive Bloom Middlesex University London, UK
This series of Gothic books is the first to treat the genre in its many interrelated, global and ‘extended’ cultural aspects to show how the taste for the medieval and the sublime gave rise to a perverse taste for terror and horror and how that taste became not only international (with a huge fan base in places such as South Korea and Japan) but also the sensibility of the modern age, changing our attitudes to such diverse areas as the nature of the artist, the meaning of drug abuse and the concept of the self. The series is accessible but scholarly, with referencing kept to a minimum and theory contextualised where possible. All the books are readable by an intelligent student or a knowledgeable general reader interested in the subject.
