The Gothic is wildly diverse. It can refer to ecclesiastical architecture, supernatural
fiction, cult horror films, and a distinctive style of rock music. It has influenced
political theorists and social reformers, as well as Victorian home décor and contemporary
fashion. This Very Short Introduction captures the history of the Gothic from ancient
times to the present. It covers the sack of Rome by the barbarian tribes, mediaeval
architecture, popular culture in the sixteenth century (including ballads and Revenge
Tragedy), political theories of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the rise
of the Gothic novel, the Victorian Gothic Revival, and the influence of Gothic culture
on film, music, and fashion. It includes familiar Gothic novels such Frankenstein
and Dracula, while also covering Gothic gardening, slasher movies, and the current
Goth scene. It is the only account of the Gothic that describes the entire history
of the term, presenting it in all its richly complex and perversely contradictory
glory
