Rosemary Jackson
Rebecca Stott (UEA)

Thirty–five years ago, David Punter published The Literature of Terror: 
A History of Gothic Fictions from 1765 to the Present Day (Longman, 
1980). The following year Rosemary Jackson published Fantasy: The 
Literature of Subversion (Routledge), and, in 1988, Vic Sage published 
Horror Fiction in the Protestant Tradition (Macmillan). These three 
groundbreaking works were produced while teaching at the University of 
East Anglia. Punter’s, Jackson’s and Sage’s work established the Gothic 
as a serious and complex field of study; a position from which it has 
now grown to be one of the most popular and theoretically sophisticated 
fields of cultural enquiry, encompassing a wide range of forms, 
including theatre, film, television, computer games, and contemporary 
fashion. Over the years numerous critics of literature and visual 
culture more generally working closely with Gothic have been intimately 
associated with UEA. Similarly, writers including Angela Carter, Ian 
McEwan, and Rebecca Stott have created highly-influential Gothic and 
post-Gothic fictions while resident at UEA. This symposium seeks to 
mark, celebrate, and commemorate the crucial work of this generation of 
Gothic, teachers, writers and critics, associated with UEA. It seeks to 
reflect both on the past of Gothic writing and criticism, but also to 
speculate about the present and future directions that Gothic studies 
may take in a twenty-first century global culture of diverse and ever 
expanding media culture of entertainment and information.
