What do we mean by the term 'Gothic'? How does it differ from such classifications as 'terror' and 'horror' and where do its parameters lie? In an attempt to define such an elusive term, this A-Z unearths the terminologies associated with Gothic through a variety of short essays written by leading scholars. Not only does it plot the national characteristics of Gothic as in the French school of terror, Frenetique to American Gothic, but it also spans the period from Ann Radcliffe to Anne Rice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction/Guide to Gothic Literature
Reviewed in the United States on 16 August 2014
Verified Purchase
So, I used this book when writing a large paper on Gothic literature in one of my college courses and it was extremely helpful.

Unfortunately, I had a difficult time finding books on the Gothic to help me with my research on my paper, so I took a chance on this book and I'm really glad I did! It is a fantastic guidebook to Gothic literature and it outlines a lot of the conventions used in Gothic Literature, popular authors, and popular novels in Gothic Literature.

So, if you're looking for a nifty book that outlines the basics of Gothic literature, I would definitely recommend this. It's a good start and quick reference for any research into this genre.

This book is a tremendously useful secondary source that provides a highly accessible overview to Gothic literature. I'll certainly be hunting for other books from this series in future!
