Contemporary Spanish Gothic is the first book to study how the Gothic mode intersects with cultural production in Spain today, considering some of the ways in which such production feeds off and simultaneously feeds into Gothic production more widely. Examining the works of writers and filmmakers like Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Pedro Almodóvar and Alejandro Amenábar, as well as the further reaches of Spanish Gothic influence in the Twilight film series, the book considers images and themes like the mad surgeon and the vulnerable body, the role of the haunted house, and the heritage biopics of Francisco de Goya.</p>Edinburgh scholarship online.Motion picturesSpainHistory21st centuryGothic fiction (Literary genre), SpanishSpainfastHistory.fastMotion picturesHistoryGothic fiction (Literary genre), Spanish.791.430946Davies Ann1961-1127918UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910826424503321Contemporary Spanish gothic4067351UNINA
