About the Author – Glennis Byron

Glennis Byron has written 267 articles on The Gothic Imagination.

My main research interests are in nineteenth-century and contemporary Gothic. My next project, tentatively entitled Blood Money: Marketing the Gothic, will examine the ways in which the international publishing industries manufacture, construct, categorise and, in a sense, even define, the Gothic in contemporary culture. Along with Dale Townshend, I run the M.Litt in The Gothic Imagination at the University of Stirling.
