The Forest and the EcoGothic by Elizabeth Parker
This book offers the first full length study on the pervasive archetype of The Gothic Forest in Western culture. This work introduces the trope of the Gothic forest, as well as important critical contexts for its discussion, and examines the three main ways in which this trope manifests: as a living, animated threat;“Comprehensive in its scope and very well structured, the six parts of the book make for a thorough guide through our fears of forests… Parker guides her reader with obvious pleasure through her book, making us enjoy the threat of the forest ‘closing like a pair of jaws,’ as Angela Carter once memorably put it, around us.” (Annemarie Mönch, Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts, Vol. 31 (3), 2020)
