Blood for Sale: Gothic goes Global

Episode 3 of 3

The language of Gothic came to encapsulate the 20th century's horrors, from Marx's analysis of capitalism to Conrad's dark vision of imperialism.

Gothic fantasy horror would be outstripped by real horror as the truth of mechanised warfare dawned on an innocent world in 1914. The language of Gothic would increasingly come to encapsulate the horrors of the 20th century - from Marx's analysis of 'vampiric' capitalism to Conrad's dark vision of imperialism and TS Eliot's image of The Wasteland, a Gothic narrative seemed to make more sense of the modern world more than any other.
