| Abstract | "Before gothic villains stalked industrialising Britain, spectres were haunting British plantations in the 'New World'. Linking these monsters, this Companion upends gothic's Eurocentric origin story, revealing world-gothic as a cultural archive of modernity's socio-ecological violence, from the era of enslavement to the present planetary emergency"-- Provided by publisher. |
