Gothic Documents: A Sourcebook, 1700-1820Research Fellow in English Emma Clery, E. J.

Ann Radcliffe and Monk Lewis were only the most celebrated of a host of writers purveying a new brand of Gothic literature.

What connections can be made between the aesthetic of terror and the terror of the French Revolution? What happened to Gothic after the decline of its popularity, during a period of political reaction? |
