Divided into three sections?Identities and Histories, Ruin and Residue, and Global Gothic?The New Urban Gothic explores our anxieties and preoccupation with social inequalities, precarity and the peripheral that are found in so many new fictions across various media. Focusing on non-canonical Gothic global cities, this distinctive collection discusses urban centres in England?s Black Country, Moscow, Detroit, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Dehli, Srinigar, Shanghai and Barcelona as well as cities of the imaginary, the digital and the animated. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the intersections of time, place, space and media in contemporary Gothic Studies. The New Urban Gothic casts reflections and shadows on the age of the Anthropocene. 410 0$aPalgrave gothic series. 606 $aCities and towns in literature 606 $aSocial problems in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCities and towns in literature. 615 0$aSocial problems in literature. 676 $a809.93321732 702 $aMillette$b Holly-Gale 702 $aHeholt$b Ruth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484075903321 996 $aThe new urban gothic$91904980 997 $aUNINA
