Coming Soon: The Palgrave Handbook of Steam Age Gothic

  • The Palgrave Handbook of Steam Age Gothic provides a comprehensive overview, exploring every aspect of gothic culture from its origins in the seventeenth century right up to 2019. 
  • It offers cutting edge analysis of modern gothic through contemporary case studies such as the Slender Man meme. 
  • It also creates a forum for new research – although traditional gothic areas will be revisited through contemporary theories and insights, long forgotten writers and neglected designers, architects, painters, poets and film makers will be highlighted.
