The Cambridge Companion to World-Gothic Literature

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.

Inainte ca ticalosii gotici sa pandeasca Marea Britanie industrializata, spectrele bantuiau plantatiile britanice din ,,Lumea Noua". Legand acesti monstri, aceasta carte de Companion rastoarna povestea eurocentrica a originii goticului, dezvaluind goticul mondial ca o arhiva culturala a violentei socio-ecologice a modernitatii, de la epoca sclaviei pana la actuala urgenta planetara.
