Description
Book SynopsisA thorough account of the engagements with the Gothic mode by Irish artists from the eighteenth century to today.
Trade Review"This outstanding collection fulfils the urgent need for a throughgoing reconsideration of the Irish gothic across genres, genders, periods, and confessional communities. Not only have the editors radically and expansively redefined the Irish gothic, but by resituating the gothic in relation to Irish and British literary history, they have productively redefined the genre itself. Irish Gothic: An Edinburgh Companion represents an authoritative departure that simultaneously offers a broad account of the scholarship that heretofore defined the field." -Margot Backus, University of Houston
