Скачать или смотреть What is Gothic? The Historical and Philosophical Origins of Goth and Gothic Horror

The Gothic summons to mind ruined medieval structures, gloomy shadows, rolling fog, the distant howl of nocturnal animals, flickering illumination, a sense of the past immensely interjecting itself to doom the present. It's an aesthetic we all recognize...it's an aesthetic some of us live. But what are the origins of Goth and Gothic Horror? By exploring the early analysis of the Sublime, the sensation of beauty but born out of pain, and the rehabilitation of the historical Goths that very aesthetic emerges first as "Gloomth," captured in Walpole's 1764 The Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story. Let's dive into the beautiful horror of the sublime and the haunted darkness at the origins of the Goth aesthetic and Gothic Horror as a genre.
