出版中心：GothicCrossings:MedievaltoPostmodern

本書由本校外文系吳雅鳳與李欣穎教授主編，收錄十篇論文，分別由海內外學者專家執筆，全書以英文論著；並請得英國布理斯托大學（Bristol University）英文系教授，亦是知名的志異(Gothic)學者，David Punter寫序。

十篇論文的內容跨越時空與文類，由英國中古時代與美國殖民地時期，貫穿浪漫主義的盛世與二十世紀交界的變異，直至現代倫敦風貌。書中除了探討志異(Gothic)傳統從中古過渡到現代所衍生的多變風貌及其承載的意義外，並探索以「志異」角度閱讀弱勢文學──猶太戲劇、美國原住民小說、華美文學等的可能性，為族裔文學研究注入新的觀點。最後一篇論文更擴及當代科技文化，可視為一種志異傳統的虛擬遺緒。

本書呈現志異的廣度與深度，流動與開放，多變與多元，對西方文學研究者與志異文學愛好者而言，都是不可錯過的一本論文集。

These ten essays on the theme of the Gothic, written by scholars from Taiwan and the USA and introduced by David Punter of Bristol University, range across the boundaries of time, space, and genre. Catching the fluidity, openness and amorphous multiplicity of the Gothic as idea and genre, the collection moves from medieval Gothic England and the early American colonial settlements, through High Romanticism and the Gothic variants at the turn of the19th and 20th centuries, to contemporary London as a Gothic site. Also explored is the possibility of doing Gothic reading of texts─Jewish, Native American and Chinese American ones─that might normally seem to fall within the domain of minority studies. The final paper undertake a postmodern analysis of contemporary technoculture as a sort of virtual afterlife of the Gothic.

The scope and depth of the engagements with the Gothic to be found in this collection demonstrate the unfailing fertility of the Gothic theme, itself one of the most glaring yet subtle puzzles in literary history.
