Provides a scholarly account of the striking interplay between the Gothic and theory over two-and-a-half centuries

This collection provides a thorough representation of the early and ongoing conversation between Gothic and theory - philosophical, aesthetic, psychological and cultural - both in the many modes of Gothic and in many of the realms of theory now current in the modern world. Each essay focuses on a particular kind of theory-Gothic relationship, every one of which has a history and each of which is still being explored in enactments of the Gothic and of theory today.

Key Features

Advances current scholarly investigation, by invigorating debates within both Gothic studies and literary theory.

Industry Reviews

The Gothic and Theory gives readers different ways to think about the relationship between theory and the gothic. It will be especially useful for those who teach classes on the gothic in a transhistorical and transnational way, and it makes a convincing argument that the gothic remains one of the most productive forms in which to think through our contemporary cultural problems.--Peter DeGabriele, Mississippi State University "Eighteenth-Century Fiction"
