The Edinburgh Companion to Globalgothic is the most substantial exploration to date of gothic fiction in the international context. Examining texts from across six continents, the volume considers how gothic imagines, colludes with or interrogates relationships and phenomena that are planetary in scale. Accordingly, chapters address gothic engagements with

among others

resource imperialism, (ongoing) colonial history, diasporic identity, buckling economic unions, the rise of the internet, enthnonationalism, and entangled systems of gendered, racialised and ecocidal power. In this way, the collection moves decisively beyond the framework of globalisation to identify a range of new globalgothic approaches and modes, overall demonstrating that gothic is a key

though sometimes complicit

register for negotiating the challenges and histories of our uneven global present.

Reviews for The Edinburgh Companion to Globalgothic

""To say that Rebecca Duncan's The Edinburgh Companion to Globalgothic is cutting edge doesn't do it justice. It is an astonishing collection that will reconfigure the field of Gothic studies and define its direction for years to come. It is an absolutely essential work.?"" -Jeffrey Andrew Weinstock, Central Michigan University
