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\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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46616146149534,"sku":"UBD-9781441101211","price":57.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781441101211.jpg?v=1773810323","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781441101211","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
