George Eliot and the Gothic Novel is the first monograph to
systematically explore George Eliot's relationship to Gothic
genres. It considers the ways in which the author's ethics link to
sensational story-telling tropes. Reappraising the major works of
fiction, this study compares passages of Eliot's writing with
sequences from eighteenth and nineteenth-century Gothic works.
Royce Mahawatte examines Eliot's deployment of, for example, the
incarcerated heroine in Middlemarch, doppelgangers in Romola and
vampiric queerness in Daniel Deronda. In doing so he lifts Eliot
from the boundaries of social realism and places her within a
broader and richer Victorian literary scene than has been
previously considered.
