Gothic Literature

  1. Post Gothic Literature


    This introductory study provides a thorough grounding in both the history of Gothic literature and the way in which Gothic texts have been (and can be) critically read.

    The book opens with a chronology and an introduction to the principal texts and key critical terms, followed by four chapters: The Gothic Heyday 1760-1820; Gothic 1820-1865; Gothic Proximities 1865-1900; and the Twentieth Century. The discussion examines how the Gothic has developed in different national contexts and in different forms, including novels, novellas, poems, and films. Each chapter concludes with a close reading of a specific text - Frankenstein, Jane Eyre, Dracula and The Silence of the Lambs - to illustrate the ways in which contextual discussion informs critical analysis. The book ends with a conclusion outlining possible future developments within scholarship on the Gothic.

    Reviews
    'Gothic Literature is a strong example of the pedagogic text. It gives lucid explanations and extended examples, both from texts that 'everyone does'! and from ones that we don't all know already.' -- Ruth Robbins

    The scholars Lively and accessible...it is an excellent guide to the field and will be an invaluable companion for all undergraduates...looking for a stimulating overview of Gothic writing. It will also be useful for postgraduates and staff who suddenly realise they have gaps in their knowledge. -- Avril Horner, Kingston University Gothic Studies
