Course Description
Discover the horrible, the grotesque, the taboo, the supernatural, and the simply creepy in British and American gothic literature from the 19th century to the present. This course examines the characteristics of the gothic tradition in novels, short fiction, and corresponding film interpretations. We will explore representations of gender, violence, family, politics, nature, and sexuality in these texts and speculate about their enduring and evolutionary qualities.
