This book presents a transdisciplinary approach to the Gothic-Romantic 
legacy in different artistic media, revealing how theatre, performance, 
film, literature, visual arts and architecture intersect in the 
construction of theoretical and aesthetic landscapes. Through an 
ethical-political and ecophilosophical assessment, it contributes 
towards a much-needed reevaluation of the Gothic-Romantic mode in the 
field of Art Studies, at a time of widespread popularity of Gothic-like 
imagery in global contemporary cultural production.
The Gothic-Romantic tradition mapped here is broad, addressing 
philosophical concepts and devised theatre experiences; literary works 
by Alexandre Herculano, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Edgar Allan Poe, J. W. Goethe, 
Friedrich Schiller, Percy Shelley and Alexandre Dumas père; films by 
Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Lars von Trier, David Lynch, 
Alejandro Amenábar and Guillermo del Toro; architectural and visual 
design by Horace Walpole, William Beckford and Luigi Manini (Quinta da 
Regaleira, Portugal).
