By highlighting features common to the Gothic classics and the
works of Adelaida Garcia Morales, this monograph aims to put the
Gothic on the map in Hispanic Studies. The Gothic as a literary
mode extending well beyond its first proponents in
eighteenth-century England is well established in English studies
but has been strangely under-used by Hispanists. Now Abigail Lee
Six uses it as the paradigm through which to analyse the novels of
Adelaida Garcia Morales; while not suggesting that every novel by
this author is a classic Gothic text, she reveals certain constants
in the work that can be related to the Gothic, evenin novels which
one might not classify as such. Each of the novels studied is
paired with an English-language Gothic text, such as Dracula,
Frankenstein and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and then read in the
lightof it. The focus of each chapter ranges from psychological
aspects, such as fear of decay or otherness, or the pressures
linked to managing secrets, to more concrete elements such as
mountains and frightening buildings, and to keyfigures such as
vampires, ghosts, or monsters. This approach sheds new light on how
Garcia Morales achieves probably the most distinguishing feature of
her novels: their harrowing atmosphere. ABIGAIL LEE SIX is
Professor of Hispanic Studies at Royal Holloway, University of
London.
