Download or read book Gothic written by Christoph Grunenberg and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking its starting point and title from the Gothic novel, this book investigates the revival of a Gothic sensibility in contemporary art: in American and British fiction labelled the "New Gothic"; in film with its long tradition of horror; and in video, music, fashion, design, and underground culture. Gothic accompanies an exhibition at The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, of 23 artists. Some employ a detached and reductive formal language to transmute images of excessive and gruesome violence. The old Gothic themes of the fantastic and pathological are infused with potency as they address concerns about the body, disease, voyeurism, and power.

Book Synopsis Ghost Stories: Forgotten Classic Tales by : Leslie S. Klinger
Download or read book Ghost Stories: Forgotten Classic Tales written by Leslie S. Klinger and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful collection of ghost stories that have been overlooked by contemporary readers—including tales by celebrated authors such as Charles Dickens, Sir Walter Scott, Mark Twain, and Edith Wharton—presented with insightful annotations by acclaimed horror anthologists Leslie S. Klinger and Lisa Morton. The ghost story has long been a staple of world literature, but many of the genre's greatest tales have been forgotten, overshadowed in many cases by their authors' bestselling work in other genres. In this spine-tingling anthology, little known stories from literary titans like Charles Dickens and Edith Wharton are collected alongside overlooked works from masters of horror fiction like Edgar Allan Poe and M. R. James. Acclaimed anthologists Leslie S. Klinger (The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes) and Lisa Morton (Ghosts: A Haunted History) set these stories in historical context and trace the literary significance of ghosts in fiction over almost two hundred years—from a traditional English ballad first printed in 1724 through the Christmas-themed ghost stories of the Victorian era and up to the science fiction–tinged tales of the early twentieth century. In bringing these masterful tales back from the dead, Ghost Stories will enlighten and frighten both longtime fans and new readers of the genre. Including stories by: Ambrose Bierce, Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, Olivia Howard Dunbar, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, M. R. James, Arthur Machen, Georgia Wood Pangborn, Mrs. J. H. Riddell, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Edgar Allan Poe, Sir Walter Scott, Frank Stockton, Mark Twain, and Edith Wharton.

This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David H. Keller was one of the first psychiatrists to start writing science fiction. His work is regarded as far more complex and literary than that of his contemporaries, thereby foreshadowing the science fiction 'golden age' of the mid-20th century. Many of the best science fiction stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
