This book is about the ways that Gothic literature has been transformed since the 18th century
across cultures and across genres. In a series of essays written by scholars in the field the
book focuses on landscape in the Gothic and the ways landscape both reflects and reveals the
dark elements of culture and humanity. It goes beyond traditional approaches to the Gothic by
pushing the limits of the definition of the genre. From landscape painting to movies and video
games from memoir to fiction and from works of different cultural origins and perspectives
this volume traverses the geography of the Gothic revealing the anxieties that still haunt
humanity into the twenty-first century.
