		The term "Gothic" was coined by Italian Renaissance writers who attributed (blamed, is more like it) what they considered to be the non-classical ugliness of the art and architecture of the mid-12th to 15th centuries to the northern tribes of Germanic barbarians known as the Goths.
		By the end of the 18th Century the meaning of the word "Gothic" sort of switched from "medieval" to "macabre", all with a little help from a man with a big fl lump of coal between his ears named Horace Walpole (1717-1797).
		It also introduced the major Gothic themes: the idea of inherited evil (the son paying for the sins of the father), characters whose physical appearance corresponds with their spiritual state, and, most important of all, the identity of the castle or house with its owner.

	Gothic Literature Summary & Essays - n/a
		Gothic literature, a movement that focused on ruin, decay, death, terror, and chaos, and privileged irrationality and passion over rationality and reason, grew in response to the historical, sociological, psychological, and political contexts of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
		While it may be comparatively easy to date the beginning of the Gothic movement, it is much harder to identify its close, if indeed the movement did come to a close at all.
		In its attention to the dark side of human nature and the chaos of irrationality, the Gothic provides for contemporary readers some insight into the social and intellectual climate of the time in which the literature was produced.

	The Gothic of Horror Literature - Horror Literature
		It is interesting to note that gothic literature began to divide into numerous formations shortly after the genre came into official existence.
		The gothic movement has come into a new existence in today’s society, and while some may find the movement disturbing and horrific, others find it beautiful and transcendent.
		It is likely the horror literature movement has branched off and evolved from its more gothic cousin, yet the elements of the gothic can still be found in many works of the horror genre: abused heroines, foreboding mansions, and incestuous uncles are themes still prominent in the popular horror novels of today.

	Gothic Literature Read by the Romantic Writers
		With the ongoing reappraisal of the relationship between the Gothic and the Romantic, it seems desirable to have a list of Gothic works read by the major writers of the period 1780-1830.
		Too often the term "Gothic" appears as a catch-all term pitted against or aligned with some aspect of the Romantic, without attention to specific works or to the evolving nature of the genre.
		For the Gothic novel I've begun with such standard references as Summers' A Gothic Bibliography, Frank's Guides to the Gothic, Spector's The English Gothic, McNutt's The Eighteenth Century Gothic Novel, and Tracy's The Gothic Novel: 1790-1830 for a working canon from which to compile lists of those works of fiction read by the poets.

	Meaning of the term 'Gothic' in literature
		I am teaching Gothic Literature for the first time and will be using Isak Dinesen's "The Monkey", "The Deluge at Norderney" and perhaps one more (maybe "The Dreamers").
		The essay discusses the typical aspects of Gothic stories, including their association with dreams and the subconscious, ruinous and convoluted medieval architecture as emblem of the inner aspects of the mind, and the common themes of rape,incest, and other uncontrolled passions.
		A later Gothic novel, The Monk by Gregory Mathew Lewis (1775-1818), was no doubt the inspiration for Karen Blixen's "The Monkey," including the priory as setting, the story's themes of incest and rape, and the underlying emphasis on sexual obsession which turns the Prioress into something inhuman--a monkey.

	Calls For Publications: Asian Gothic Literature (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Despite its Anglo-centric literary heritage, I believe that the Gothic, in its ambivalence and susceptibility to polyvalent interpretations and theorising, is a helpful way of reading and understanding the vast output of powerful Asian texts that carry strong strains of the forbidden, the extraordinary, the fantastic, the supernatural and the uncanny (amongst other 'Gothic' concerns).
		I am interested in the way Gothic as a theory and a poetics of reading can help elucidate some crucial insights into the complexity of some Asian writing (of course, argument for a particular text to be read as Gothic must be staged first).
		One hope of this project is to enable a kind of dialogue between East and West with Gothic as a theoretical and literary conduit.

	Fatalistic Love in American Gothic Literature
		In American Gothic Literature the lover or lovers are often presented with difficult trials.
		The characters in gothic stories are often tormented by horrendous actions which are sometimes acted by themselves like in “Somnambulism” in which Althorpe is the author of the murder of Miss Davis under unnatural conditions (while he sleepwalked).
		The giant in “An Account of a Beautiful Young Lady” can be said to represent the fear of loosing his lady to a better suitor and the insistence to protect Miss Davis in “Somnambulism” could symbolize the need to protect a loved one from all kinds of harm and from oneself.
