About this Journal

The official journal of the International Gothic Association considers the field of Gothic studies from the eighteenth century to the present day.  The aim of Gothic Studies is not merely to open a forum for dialogue and cultural criticism, but to provide a specialist journal for scholars working in a field which is today taught or researched in academic institutions around the globe. Gothic Studies invites contributions from scholars working within any period of the Gothic; interdisciplinary scholarship is especially welcome, as are studies of works across the range of media, beyond the written word.
