Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic
Autor Dr Catherine Spooneren Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 feb 2017
Identifying a shift in subcultural sensibilities following media coverage of the Columbine shootings, Spooner suggests that changing perceptions of Goth subculture have shaped the development of 21st-century Gothic. Reading these contemporary trends back into their sources, Spooner also explores how they serve to highlight previously neglected strands of comedy and romance in earlier Gothic literature.

Recenzii
The range of sources that Spooner uses to uncover this strand of Gothic and the work it's doing in the twenty-first century is as impressive as the primary texts that she explores throughout the book.
Spooner is especially persuasive in her argument that the rise in the fusion of comedy and Gothic needs not to be viewed as on the fringes of what is quintessentially Gothic, but rather a turn toward a new form of Gothic altogether . Spooner's writing style, as well as her intriguing references and anecdotes, provides for a very enjoyable and accessible read-for those inside and outside academia.
Post-Millennial Gothic is well rounded, accessible and very readable study that arguably succeeds in its mission statement and more.
This book expands our understanding of the Gothic and uses lots of interesting contemporary examples. I think this book would be of interest to not just Gothic scholars, but also those interested in post-millennial and material culture.
Don't judge a book by its cover, or so the old adage goes; when it comes to Catherine Spooner's most recent publication, Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic, though, it is hard not to ... Post-Millennial Gothic is foremost an academic study, but one that is pleasingly free of convoluted jargon, which makes it an enjoyable whistle-stop tour of post-millennial happy Gothic.
