Know about the book -

The Gothic Sublime is written by Vijay Mishra and published by State University of New York Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1438413300 (ISBN 10) and 9781438413303 (ISBN 13).

This book reads the Gothic corpus with a thoroughly postmodern critical apparatus, pointing out that the Gothic Sublime anticipates our own doomed desire to pass beyond the hyperreal. A highly sophisticated theoretical reading of key texts of the Gothic, this book allows the reader to re-live the Gothic, not simply as a nostalgic relic or a pre-romantic aberration, but as a living presence that has strong resonances with the postmodern condition.
