The Origins of Ukrainian Gothic
History, Cultural Hauntings, and Political Imagination
Svitlana (Lana) Krys
Through a comparative study of the horror works of selected authors and the application of post-colonial theory, this book shows how, from the 1820s to the 1920s, Ukrainian dark prose used the conventions of the British and western European Gothic novel to introduce politically dissenting views, making it a tool for resistance and decolonization.
