Irish Gothics - by Christina Morin & Niall Gillespie (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Scholarly interest in 'the Irish Gothic' has grown at a rapid pace in recent years, but the debate over exactly what constitutes this body of literature remains far from settled. This collection of essays explores the rich complexities of the literary gothic in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Ireland.

Review Quotes

'...this fine collection of essays, brought together by Gillespie and Morin, suggests that few genres have generated as much debate in Irish literary studies in recent years as the Gothic.' - Sinéad Sturgeon, Times Literary Supplement
