{"product_id":"gothic-music-isabella-van-elferen-9780708325124","title":"Gothic Music: The Sounds of the Uncanny","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGothic Music\u003c\/i\u003e traces the sound of the Gothic from the eerie echoing footsteps that haunt gothic novels to the dark soundscapes that give contemporary goth nightclubs their dark atmosphere. This broad perspective enables Isabella van Elferen to widen the scope of gothic music--which includes bands such as Christian Death, Bauhaus, The Damned, and The Sisters of Mercy--from its roots in the contemporary goth subculture to manifestations in mainstream literature, film, television, and video games, while also offering a musical and theoretical definition of gothic music that is lacking in current scholarship. Bringing together versions of the Gothic in all media, van Elferen connects those to the subculture--a historical and theoretical connection that has not been made previously in gothicist or goth scholarship. Whether giving voice to the spectral beings of early cinema, announcing virtual terrors in video games, or intensifying goth's nocturnal rituals, gothic music truly represents the sounds of the uncanny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Isabella Van Elferen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0708325122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780708325124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.10d","brand":"Isabella Van Elferen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086776316159,"sku":"9780708325124","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13319d1e-cb4a-43a6-b2c6-bc358b6eb493.jpg?v=1769096508","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gothic-music-isabella-van-elferen-9780708325124","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
