Cathi Unsworth - Season of the Witch: The Book of Goth
The first book to cover in-depth and from an insider's perspective the inception and rise of goth - one of the world's most enduringly popular musical subcultures.
Forty years since its inception, 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 innovative, atmospheric music cross-pollinated throughout britain and internationally, speaking to a generation of alienated youths.
