Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Asian Gothic engages key debates in the study of an area that is seriously overlooked within the field of Gothic studies. It widens and deepens the critical analysis of the gothic themes and conventions in the texts produced outside the Anglo-American context usually associated with gothic. This book pays attention to various political, historical and aesthetical configurations in South Asia and is the first attempt to theorise South Asia and its Gothic production as a common cultural landscape. Therefore, the volume will be relevant to scholars and students in the field of South Asian studies. The volume investigates a wide range of different cultural media and, therefore, is also relevant to media studies and related disciplines including literary criticism, film studies, postcolonial studies, and world cinema studies.
