EN 3880 - The Gothic Novel as Genre
(3)
Gothic fiction, a reaction against comfort, security, political stability, and commercial progress, resists the rule of reason. It began with the 1764 publication of Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto, and prospered through its steady reference to crags and chasms, torture and terror, and the supernatural – clairvoyance, dreams, ghosts. This course studies a series of representative texts that establish and sustain the genre from the 18th century to now.
Prerequisite: EN 1110 /EN 1120 , or EN 1140 , or EN 1150 .
