Spectres of Antiquity is the first full-length study of the relationship between Greco-Roman culture and the eighteenth-century Gothic. In fascinating and compelling detail, James Uden's book rewrites the history of the Gothic genre, demonstrating that the genre was haunted by a deeper sense of history than has previously been assumed.
