Since its inception in 1764, the Gothic has held space for a worldview that acknowledged a living, even sentient, cosmos. Although it was later deemed \"uncanny\" and anachronistic by Freud, Jodey Castricano argues that the Gothic can still offer us an alternative vision of reality. The book explores the ways in which Gothic literature can help us bring about a paradigm shift in our relation to the planet in the time of the Anthropocene. Taking the influence of the Middle Ages and psychoanalytic thought into account, \u003ci\u003eGothic Metaphysics\u003c\/i\u003e is a multivalent exploration of how the Gothic has sustained the viewpoint of a sentient world in spite of modern rejection. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Wales Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47596118737047,"sku":"9781786837943","price":8353.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781786837943.webp?v=1774992565","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/gothic-metaphysics-from-alchemy-to-the-anthropocene-9781786837943","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
