Description
The Gothic Text by Marshall Brown offers a fresh approach to understanding Romantic gothic fiction. By challenging common assumptions about the genre, Brown provides new insights into literary history and the history of ideas. This book combines a teleological approach to literary history with a European perspective on the international literary form of its era. Brown's research delves into German romantic psychology as it developed from Kant's idealist philosophy into a gothic sensibility. The result is a thoroughly researched account that gives new impulses to the study of Romanticism, 19th-century fiction, and the origins of psychoanalysis. Accessible and argued in careful detail, The Gothic Text provides innovative close readings of key texts, including Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, Ann Radcliffe's The Italian, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
