This book examines the rise of Fantastic literature on the
continent in the nineteenth century, the development of a European
Gothic and the influence which this exerted on British writers. By
examining writers like Nodier, Hoffmann, Gautier, Feval and
Stevenson, the book argues firstly how their writings subvert
entirely the view of the Fantastic accepted by Todorov, Punter and
others, to show that it is the reversal of a pre-Enlightenment,
spiritual world-view which causes terror in these works, and
further demonstrates that Gothic novels frequently use allusion and
anachronism to portray a cyclical view of history opposed to that
of Scott.
