De la contraportada

‘Historically and culturally wide-ranging, Graveyard Gothic offers a scintillating scholarly unearthing of the multivalent site of the graveyard.'
Professor Carol Margaret Davison, editor of The Gothic and Death (2017)

‘Insightful and scholarly, this volume makes a major contribution to the understanding of cultural history.’
Professor Andrew Smith, author of Gothic Death 1740-1914: A Literary History (2016)

Graveyard Gothic examines the crucial role played by graveyards and other burial sites in Gothic literature, film, television and video games. The book includes seventeen specially commissioned chapters from key international scholars that explore the graveyard’s Gothic significance from the eighteenth century to the present day, ranging far beyond British culture and offering unparalleled historical and geographical scope.

Chapters on key texts from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries frame the graveyard as a site of solace and metaphysical speculation that nevertheless exemplified the emerging Gothic mode by offering both supernatural potential and a reminder of the links between past and present. The book then traces the journey of the graveyard trope as it became more complex and spread across cultures, languages and continents throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Contributors focus on its role in war Gothic, YA novels, weird fiction, poetry and non-fiction prose, as well as a vast array of novels and audiovisual texts. Graveyard Gothic establishes the graveyard as a quintessential Gothic chronotope and, in the process, defines a new area of Gothic Studies.
