The essays in this volume reinterpret and contest the Gothic
cultural inheritance, each from a specifically twenty-first century
perspective. Most are based on papers delivered at a conference
held, appropriately, in Horace Walpole's Gothic mansion at
Strawberry Hill in West London, which is usually seen as the
geographical origin of the first, but not the last, of the many
Gothic revivals of the past 300 years. In a contemporary context,
the Gothic sensibility could be seen as a mode particularly
applicable to the frightening instability of the world in which we
find ourselves at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The
truth is probably less epochal: that Gothic never went away (when
were we ever without fear?), or at least has persisted since its
resurgence in the late nineteenth century. Gothic is at least as
modern as it is ancient, and each essay in this collection
contributes to current scholarship on the Gothic by exploring a
particular aspect of Gothic's contemporaneity. The volume contains
papers on horror novels and cinema, poetry, popular music and fan
cultures.
