Key Concepts in the Gothic provides a one-stop resource which details and defines, in accessible language, those contexts essential for the study of the Gothic in all periods and media. The volume is divided into three sections: Concepts and Terms; Theories of the Gothic; and Key FictionalTexts. Bibliographies are provided with the last two sections. The book clearly explains the critical terms - from "Ab-human" to "Zombie" - as well as the main theories, including ecocriticism, queer theory and Postcolonial theory, which any student of the Gothic is likely to encounter. This bookwill be a reliable companion for students of the genre from school and through university. | Key Concepts in the Gothic by William Hughes, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
