Book Synopsis Penny Dreadful and Adaptation by : Julie Grossman
Download or read book Penny Dreadful and Adaptation written by Julie Grossman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection is the first book-length critical study of the Showtime-Sky Atlantic television series Penny Dreadful (2014-2016), which also includes an analysis of Showtime’s 2020 spin-off City of Angels. Chapters examine the status of the series as a work of twenty-first-century cable television, contemporary Gothic-horror, and intermedial adaptation, spanning sources as diverse as eighteenth and nineteenth-century British fiction and poetry, American dime novels, theatrical performance, Hollywood movies, and fan practices. Featuring iconic monsters such as Dr. Frankenstein and his Creature, the “bride” of Frankenstein, Dracula, the werewolf, Dorian Gray, and Dr. Jekyll, Penny Dreadful is a mash-up of familiar texts and new Gothic figures such as spiritualist Vanessa Ives, played by the magnetic Eva Green. As a recent example of adapting multiple sources in different media, Penny Dreadful has as much to say about the Romantic and Victorian eras as it does about our present-day fascination with screen monsters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characterized as it is by its interest in and engagement with the supernatural, psycho-social formations, the gothic, and issues of identity and subjectivity, horror has long functioned as an allegorical device for interrogations into the seamier side of cultural foundations. This collection, therefore, explores both the cultural landscape of this recent phenomenon and the reasons for these television series’ wide appeal, focusing on televisual aesthetics, technological novelties, the role of adaptation and seriality, questions of gender, identity and subjectivity, and the ways in which the shows’ themes comment on the culture that consumes them. Featuring new work by many of the field’s leading scholars, this collection offers innovative readings and rigorous theoretical analyses of some of our most significant contemporary texts in the genre of Horror Television.

Download or read book Varney the Vampire (Vol.1-3) written by Thomas Peckett Prest and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-16 with total page 1697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Varney the Vampire (Vol.1-3) stands as a monumental anthology within the gothic literature panorama, bridging the realms of supernatural folklore and the burgeoning Victorian anxieties surrounding modernity and morality. This collection, encompassing an array of narratives from the macabre to the romantic, showcases the diversity of literary styles and the depth of thematic exploration characteristic of the period. The works within these volumes are pivotal in tracing the evolution of the vampire myth in Western literature, offering readers a comprehensive view of the social and cultural undercurrents that shaped such tales. The anthology draws from the prolific outputs of Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer, whose collaborative efforts are often overshadowed by their contemporary, Bram Stoker, yet remain crucial in the groundwork of vampiric literature. Their backgrounds as writers for penny dreadfuls allowed them to capture the zeitgeist of Victorian society, blending sensationalism with acute observations of human nature and societal change. This collection, therefore, encompasses not only stories of the supernatural but also serves as a commentary on the fears and fascinations of the era it was born in. Varney the Vampire (Vol.1-3) is an indispensable resource for those interested in the origins and evolution of vampire mythology and its intersection with cultural, social, and historical discourses of the 19th century. Readers are invited to delve into this collection not only for its entertainment value but also for its ability to illuminate the complexities of human nature, morality, and the supernatural. Through its diverse range of narrative voices and styles, this anthology offers a unique opportunity to engage with the foundational texts that continue to influence gothic literature and horror genres today.
