Description

Hines investigates the recurring obsessions of the gothic, the movement into the realms of the immoderate and powerful and traces the evolution of the meaning of gothic in the artistic imagination, from haunting pictures of seventeenth century Naples to Vampire nightclubs in present day New York.
