Cathi Unsworth - Season of the Witch: The Book of Goth (EN)

Author Cathi Unsworth provides the first comprehensive overview of the music, context and lasting legacy of goth.

This is the story of how goth was shaped by the politics of the era - from the miners' strikes and privatisation to the Troubles and AIDS - as well as how its rock 'n' roll outlaw imagery and music cross-pollinated throughout Britain and internationally, speaking to a generation of alienated youths.

A fascinating social history, "Season of the Witch" tells the tale of an enduring counter-culture, one that steadfastly refuses to give up the ghost.
