Description

Though Dracula is still the most pervasive Gothic character and image, in the early 20th Century fantasy horror would be outstripped by real horror as the truth of mechanised warfare dawned on an innocent world. This program follows how the language of Gothic would increasingly come to encapsulate the horrors of the 20th century-from Marx's analysis of 'vampiric' capitalism to T. S. Eliot's image of The Wasteland, a Gothic narrative seemed to make more sense of the modern world more than any other.
