Painting The Dark Side
Argues that far from being marginal, the gothic was a pervasive and potent visual language used by recognized masters and eccentric outsiders alike to express the darker facets of history and the psyche. This book discusses such topics as slave revolt, drugs, grave-robbing, vivisection, drunkenness, female monstrosity, and family secrets.
