Finally an intellectual book tor the rest of us, December 6, 2002
Reviewer:
A reader
from Philadelphia, Pa United States
this hardback 219-page book (numbered backwards) is a collector's item.
It draws on the last 200 years from history, music, psychoanalysis,
film, fashion, architecture, literature, all types of art to describe
what "gothic" actually is. Discussions on the influence of
industrialization, the Holocaust, the millenium, and Freud are
included. I am a profesional/academic who is now much better able to
articulate why I am drawn to his thing called gothic and to define what
it is. This 9-chapter book with color and B & W photos and
appendicies would be an appropriate text for a college course in art,
popular culture, etc. Gothic is more than a disturbed adolescent
dressed in black.
