520 1 $a"Tracing the development of horror entertainment since the late 18th century, this study argues that scientific discovery, technological progress, and knowledge in general have played a significant role in influencing the evolution of horror. The text defines distinct periods in horror development, then explores each by looking at the scientific and cultural background of the period, its expression in horror literature, and its expression in horror visual and performing arts."--BOOK JACKET.
