Romantic gothic fiction is not exciting. Gothic novels are not
ghost stories. Gothic novels are not women's writing. Opening with
these three theses, The Gothic Text undertakes a fresh approach to
a much-studied mode. Marshall Brown combines the teleological
approach to literary history developed in his Preromanticism with a
European perspective on the one truly international literary form
of its era. New insights into literary history and the history of
ideas provide a framework for innovative close readings-of Horace
Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, Ann Radcliffe's The Italian, and
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, among others-that approach classics of
the genre from unusual angles. The book also provides a thoroughly
researched account of German romantic psychology as it developed
out of Kant's idealist philosophy into a gothic sensibility.
Accessibly written and argued in careful, lively detail, The Gothic
Text gives many new impulses to the study of romanticism,
nineteenth-century fiction, and the origins of psychoanalysis.
