Traditions in World Cinema Edited by Linda Badley and R. Barton Palmer B-Movie Gothic: International Perspectives Edited by Justin D. Edwards & Johan Hglund 'This book takes head-on the complex question of the relationship between Gothic as a Western-origin art form and the rise of indigenous film of the supernatural and the eerie across cultures and continents. Its focus on the B-movie is adeptly handled by a variety of distinguished critics, raising important questions about internationalisation and local development. There are many dark gems revealed here, and expertly and engagingly discussed.' David Punter, University of Bristol Following the Second World War, low-budget B-movies that explored and exploited Gothic narratives and aesthetics became a significant cinematic expression of social and cultural anxieties. Influencing new trends in European, Asian and African filmmaking, these films carried on the tradition established by the Gothic novel, and yet they remain part of a largely neglected subject. B-Movie Gothic: International Perspectives examines the influence of Gothic B-movies on the cinematic traditions of the United States, Britain, Scandinavia, Spain, Turkey, Japan, Hong Kong and India, highlighting their transgressive, transnational and provocative nature. The contributors show how B-movie Gothic is a relentlessly creative form, filled with political tensions and moving from shocking conservatism to profound social critique. Justin D. Edwards is Professor in the Division of Literature and Languages, University of Stirling. Johan Hglund is Associate Professor of English at Linnaeus University.
