Urban Gothic of the Second World War: Dark London

Urban Gothic of the Second World War: Dark London

by SaraWasson (Author)

Synopsis

This book examines writing in the Gothic mode which subverts the dominant national narrative of the British home front. Instead of seeing wartime experience as a site of fellowship and emotional resilience, Elizabeth Bowen, Anna Kavan, Mervyn Peake, Roy Fuller and others depict shadowy figures on the margin of the nation.
