Book Synopsis European Gothic by : Avril Horner

Download or read book European Gothic written by Avril Horner and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-09 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European Gothic: A Spirited Exchange 1760-1960 sets out to challenge the tyranny of the Anglo-American narratives that have dominated critical histories of the Gothic so far. It argues that the Gothic novel did not simply derive from The Castle of Otranto, but that it has been forged in the crucible of translation. Focussing on Gothic writing in English, French, German, Russian and Spanish, the collection charts a rich process of cross-fertilization and, in particular, examines the importance of Anglo-French exchanges in the development of the Gothic novel within Europe and, subsequently, the US.
