Description
Book SynopsisThis book is the first in-depth study of the Gothic on television. It defines and explores key instances of the genre across the history of television drama in the UK and US. The book builds a strong argument for the fact that the Gothic, in its various guises, is well-suited to television as a domestic medium.
