As Author As Editor Series Editor
Palgrave Gothic, General editor Clive Bloom
This series of gothic books is the first to treat the genre in its many inter-related, global and 'extended' cultural aspects to show how the taste for the medieval and the sublime gave rise to a perverse taste for terror and horror and how that taste became, not only international (with a huge fan base in places such as South Korea and Japan) but also the sensibility of the modern age, changing our attitudes to such diverse areas as the nature of the artist, the meaning of drug abuse and the concept of the self. The series is accessible but scholarly, with referencing kept to a minimum and theory contextualised where possible. All the books are readable by an intelligent student or a knowledgeable general reader interested in the subject.

Literature and Culture in Modern Day Britain: Volumes One - Three
Published 1993 - 2000
As literary and cultural studies expand into new areas of enquiry, the aim of this three-volume sequence is to give the reader the intertextual cultural history of modern Britain, one in which literary, cultural and historical processes are intimately connected. It is a history in which literature is neither seen as mere reflection of social forces nor as separate from such forces, but rather as a participating and moulding factor in the history of perception in this country over the century.
