The Palgrave Handbook of Contemporary Gothic
“Simply put, there is absolutely nothing on the market with the range of ambition of this strikingly eclectic collection of essays. Not only is it impossible to imagine a more comprehensive view of the subject, most readers – even specialists in the subject – will find that there are elements of the Gothic genre here of which they were previously unaware.” - Barry Forshaw, Author of British Gothic Cinema and Sex and Film The Palgrave Handbook of Contemporary Gothic is the most comprehensive compendium of analytic essays on the modern Gothic now available, covering the vast and highly significant period from 1918 to 2019. The Gothic sensibility, over 200 years old, embraces its dark p...
Social Change and Literature in Peru, 1970-1990
This volume studies the relationship between social change and literature in Peru, arguing that the emergence in the 1970s and 80s of new fiction writers and poets from social sectors historically excluded from Peruvian public life - lower classes, migrants, and women - was part of a dramatic process of social change by which those sectors were gaining an important role in the transformation of society.

Latin American Gothic in Literature and Culture
This book explores the Gothic mode as it appears in the literature, visual arts, and culture of different areas of Latin America. Focusing on works from authors in Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, the Andes, Brazil, and the Southern Cone, the essays in this volume illuminate the existence of native representations of the Gothic, while also exploring the presence of universal archetypes of terror and horror. Through the analysis of global and local Gothic topics and themes, they evaluate the reality of a multifaceted territory marked by a shifting colonial and postcolonial relationship with Europe and the United States. The book asks questions such as: Is there such a thing as "Latin A...

Caso abierto: la novela policial peruana entre los siglos XX y XXI
El relato policial surge en el siglo XIX, estrechamente vinculado con los cambios que trae la modernidad, como la ajetreada vida en las grandes ciudades y la exaltación del raciocinio lógico-deductivo. De ahí que, en su período clásico, narre las aventuras de brillantes investigadores que hacen alarde de sus poderes de deducción, como A. Dupin, S. Holmes o H. Poirot. Luego llegarían los desencantados detectives de la novela negra estadounidense, como Sam Spade o Philip Marlowe. En América Latina el policial adquiere una fisonomía particular, en especial a partir de la obra de Borges. Pero en el Perú su desarrollo es más bien tardío. Este libro aborda, precisamente, la pregunta de...
Duas Solidões
Em setembro de 1967, os jovens Gabriel García Márquez e Mario Vargas Llosa encontraram-se em Lima para discutir a literatura latino-americana. O primeiro já tinha vendido milhares de exemplares de Cem Anos de Solidão. O segundo acabava de ganhar o Prémio Rómulo Gallegos com A Casa Verde. Hoje são ambos considerados universalmente dois dos maiores expoentes da literatura, mas naquela época eram apenas dois jovens que estavam a começar a carreira de romancistas. Em Duas Solidões, estão frente a frente dois escritores, dois génios literários, duas maneiras diferentes de entender a literatura, dois temperamentos um tanto contraditórios, duas maneiras diferentes de narrar. Estes sã...
