First published in 1972, this book provides a helpful overview of the grotesque and its use in a number of literary genres including novels, drama and poetry.

The final chapter presents the functions and purpose of the grotesque in literature.

This book will be a useful resource for those studying literary theory and literary works which include an element of the grotesque.
