A Geography of Victorian Gothic Fiction: Mapping History’s Nightmares

Posted by Notcot on Apr 1, 2011 in Gothic

This title challenges the view that ‘psychology’ explains the Gothic. Mighall offers original readings of familiar texts, from Dickens to Stoker, Wilkie Collins to Conan Doyle; but also a rich store of original sources, from European travelogues to sexological textbooks, from ecclesiastic histories to pamphlets on the perils of self-abuse.

Seven Gothic Tales: The Roads Round Pisa; The Old Chevalier; the Monkey; The Deluge at Norderney; The Supper at Elsinore; The Dreamers; The Poet (Penguin Modern Classics)

Posted by Notcot on Mar 30, 2011 in Gothic

A collection of seven tales, whose settings range from Tuscany and Elsinore, to a dhow on its way from Lamu to Zanzibar. It is shot through with themes of love and desire – from the maiden lady who now believes herself to have been the grand courtesan of her time to the Count whose wife is so jealous that she cannot bear him to admire her jewels.
