Grotesque provides an invaluable and accessible guide to the use (and abuse) of this complex literary term. Justin D. Edwards and Rune Graulund explore the influence of the grotesque on cultural forms throughout history, with particular focus on its representation in literature, visual art and film. The book presents a history of the literary grotesque from Classical writing to the present, examines theoretical debates around the term in their historical and cultural contexts, introduces readers to key writers and artists of the grotesque, analyzes key terms such as disharmony and distorted bodies, and explores the grotesque in relation to queer theory, post-colonialism, and the carnivalesque.
