Description

About the Author Dani Cavallaro is a freelance writer specializing in literary studies, critical and cultural theory and the visual arts. Her publications include The Gothic Vision, Critical and Cultural Theory and Cyberpunk and Cyberculture. Product Description The Gothic Vision examines a broad range of tales of horror, terror, the uncanny and the supernatural, spanning the late-eighteenth century to the present, and of related theoretical approaches to the realm of dark writing. It argues that such narratives are objects for historical analysis, due to their implication in specific ideologies, while also focusing on the recurrence over time of themes of physical and psychological disintegration, spectrality and monstrosity. This is an excellent overview of a genre that is increasingly studied in literature, film, and cultural studies courses. Review ."..a readable, intriguing narrative... Cavallaro deploys a variety of critical theories, on the whole judiciously selecting the approach that seems well suited to the work under discussion."- Robert F. Geary, "International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts, "Summer 2006, 17.2--Sanford Lakoff"A thorough, well-written overview of Gothic literature from the publication of Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764) to the present (Stephen King, Anne Rice, Patrick McGrath)....I would use it as a compulsory text for undergraduates." Anne Williams, Professor of English, University of Georgia
