These ten essays on the theme of the Gothic, written by scholars from Taiwan and the USA and introduced by Professor David Punter of Bristol University, range across the boundaries of time, space and genre. Catching, the fluidity, openness and amorphous multiplicity of the Gothic as idea and as genre, the collection moves from medieval Gothic England and the early American colonial settlements, through High Romanticism and the Gothic variants at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, to contemporary London as a Gothic site.
