Gothic Realities: The Impact of Horror Fiction on Modern Culture
by L. Andrew Cooper
On This Page
Description
"Early literary critics feared Gothic's potential to corrupt youth, inspire deviant sexuality, instill heretical beliefs, and encourage antisocial violence. This book examines Gothic and horror fictions over the last three centuries, from their literary foundations to the influence on modern popular culture. Topics covered include homosexuality, interest in paranormal research, and violent school shootings"--Provided by publisher.Tags
