Agatha Christie and Gothic Horror: Adaptations and Televisuality (Horror and Gothic Media Cultures)

Description

Shakespeare, Vermeer, Lope de Vega, Moli豕re, and Diderot dont usually keep company with one another. But in this acclaimed book, Richard Helgerson shows that each contributed to a common project of great significance: the artistic promotion of the middle-class home. In a study that stretches over two centuries, Helgerson looks beneath European drama and painting to reveal an unexpected prehistory of modern domesticity.
