Spanish Gothic

Part of the book series: Palgrave Gothic ((PAGO))

Abstract

This brief conclusion makes two general propositions. First, it suggests the Gothic needs to be understood as a mode in constant dialogue between nations, that is, as a truly transnational mode. Second, it suggests that the Gothic may be best understood as a language of artistic liberation, sometimes very politically engaged, that has been an inherent part of Spanish culture since the late-eighteenth century.
