Description



About the Book



The first critical study that theorises the Italian Gothic and examines its main forms and manifestations across arts, media, and disciplines



Book Synopsis



This companion constitutes the first, systematic theorisation of the Italian Gothic. Through an interdisciplinary, trans-medial approach that encompasses prose fiction, poetry, journalism, film, music, and comics, it explores the varied and complex metamorphoses of the Gothic in Italy from the late eighteenth century to the present day. Although the last thirty years have seen a burgeoning in the academic study of the Gothic at college and university levels and in related publications, scholars have long struggled to even acknowledge the very existence of this mode in the Italian context. This companion does not only fill in a historical and critical gap in the scholarship, but it also contributes to revitalising the field of Gothic Studies, opening new channels of communication, and paving the way to the exploration of the fruitful interchanges between Italian and other European and American configurations of the Gothic.



Review Quotes




This imaginatively conceived volume is impeccable in its scholarship, and opens up new ways of thinking about Italian culture in the past two centuries. It does so with great critical insight and panache, dispelling long-held critical prejudices against the Gothic as genre and mode, and unsettling canonical views and critical frameworks. The volume makes for rich and compelling reading.--Giuliana Pieri, Royal Holloway University of London
