{"product_id":"post-millennial-gothic","title":"Post-Millennial Gothic","description":"\u003cp\u003eSurveying the widespread appropriations of the Gothic in contemporary literature and culture, \u003ci\u003ePost-Millennial Gothic\u003c\/i\u003e shows contemporary Gothic is often romantic, funny and celebratory. Reading a wide range of popular texts, from Stephenie Meyer's \u003ci\u003eTwilight \u003c\/i\u003eseries through Tim Burton's Gothic film adaptations of \u003ci\u003eSweeney Todd\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDark Shadows\u003c\/i\u003e, to the appearance of Gothic in fashion, advertising and television, Catherine Spooner argues that conventional academic and media accounts of Gothic culture have overlooked this celebratory strain of 'Happy Gothic'. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdentifying a shift in subcultural sensibilities following media coverage of the Columbine shootings, Spooner suggests that changing perceptions of Goth subculture have shaped the development of 21st-century Gothic. Reading these contemporary trends back into their sources, Spooner also explores how they serve to highlight previously neglected strands of comedy and romance in earlier Gothic literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54221650657624,"sku":"9781441101211","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781441101211_121bc2ef-bc20-4676-9f2d-927f4d9b2409.jpg?v=1777048262","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/post-millennial-gothic","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
