- Inhalt
- The Gothic Novel famously emerged in the 18th century with Walpole’s Castle of Otranto (1764) and Radcliffe’s Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) and reached its first peak with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in 1818. However, the genre saw a second major blossoming in the late Victorian period, more specifically, the 1880s and 1890s. While first-wave Gothic Novels tend to be set abroad, in the castles – or laboratories – of Continental Europe, the Victorian Gothic Novel moves closer to home: with settings in the British Isles, but, even more importantly, by locating the source of the horror increasingly within the human psyche.
- Empfohlene Literatur
- In this class, we will read three Victorian classics of the Gothic:
Robert Louis Stevenson, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886)
Bram Stoker, Dracula (1897)
Henry James, The Turn of the Screw (1898)
Students may use any decent edition of the above texts (but no “simplified” or “abridged” versions or adaptations!). Please note that, while we will of course acknowledge that these texts have spawned numerous film versions and rewritings, the focus of our seminar will be on the original texts themselves. The first novel we will study will be The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which participants must have read by the third week of term. Since Dracula is rather long and The Turn of the Screw rather difficult, you should start reading as soon as possible!
