The Gothic imagination, that dark predilection for horrors and terrors, spectres and
sprites, occupies a prominent place in contemporary Western culture. First given fictional
expression in Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto of 1764, the Gothic mode has
continued to haunt literature, fine art, music, film and fashion ever since its heyday
in Britain in the 1790s. Terror and Wonder, which accompanies a major exhibition at
the British Library, is a collection of essays that trace the numerous meanings and
manifestations of the Gothic across time, tracking its prominent shifts and mutations
from its eighteenth-century origins, through the Victorian period, and into the present
day. Edited and introduced by Dale Townshend, and consisting of original contributions
by Nick Groom, Angela Wright, Alexandra Warwick, Andrew Smith, Lucie Armitt and Catherine
Spooner, Terror and Wonder provides a compelling and comprehensive overview of the
Gothic imagination over the past 250 years
