Overview
Ghosts have long been connected with the Gothic, but until now there has not been a book dedicated to the subject. This collection examines ghostly presences (and absences) in both classic and lesser-known Gothic texts from the beginning of the genre to the present in a global context. Arguing that the undead, in the form of ghosts, are intrinsic to the Gothic mode, essays in the collection question the place of manifested spirits. The Gothic has always been ‘political’, and essays in this collection examine some of the most relevant issues facing us today: from the destruction of the natural environment, to questions of ‘freedom’, to gender politics.
