	The Gothic Novel
		Critics of the genre have engaged in analysis of the various elements of the Gothic novel and tie those elements with the repressed feelings of individuals and, in a twentieth century perspective, the unconscious of the human psyche.
		Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick writes about the same idea in her essay, "The Structure of the Gothic Convention," and she adds that the idea of a protagonist having a struggle with a terrible, surreal person or force is a metaphor for an individual's struggle with repressed emotions or thoughts (Sedgwick 1).
		Even though she parodies and mocks the Gothic novel, she still retains part of the genre's overarching themes: "the individual is something so precious that society must never be allowed to violate it" (Morse 29).

	Gothic novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The opprobrious term "Gothick" was embraced by the 18th-century proponents of the Gothic revival, a forerunner of the Romantic genres.
		The Gothic in architecture was a reaction to the classical architecture that was a hallmark of the Age of Reason.
		Gothic came to be applied to the literary genre precisely because the genre dealt with such emotional extremes and dark themes, and because it found its most natural settings in the buildings of this style: Castles, Mansions and Monsateries, often remote, crumbling and ruined.

	CANGOTHAU
		Gothic texts have always had a great interest in the corporeal and in the sexual.
		Each of the seven Southern Ontario stories examines dark psychological states, and each features ambiguous villains and an irresolute ending reflecting the protagonist's obscured sense of reality.
		Her novel explores the role of the Gothic within the Haisla community and through a character whose life blends tribal beliefs and practices with an intimate knowledge of the non-Native world.".

	Southern Ontario Gothic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Southern Ontario Gothic is a sub-genre of the Gothic novel genre and a feature of Canadian literature that comes from Southern Ontario.
		Like the Southern Gothic of American writers such as William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, Southern Ontario Gothic analyzes and critiques social conditions such as race, gender, religion and politics, but in a Southern Ontario context.
		Southern Ontario Gothic is generally characterized by a stern realism set against the dour small-town Protestant morality stereotypical of the region, and often has underlying themes of moral hypocrisy.

		Gothic, however, once providing the stain (in a Lacanian sense) of Culture, is no longer suppressed: it is ex-pressed in the spread of cultures associated with postmodernism to signal the virulent return of consumption, waste, luxury, sensation and the prevalence of desiring and performative, liminal and plural identities.
		Terror, as the second form of Gothic supernatural, is mastered by Ann Radcliffe in all of her Gothic romances, while horror, as the third form, became the primary mode of articulated the supernatural in Matthew Lewis' novel The Monk.
		The obsession of Gothic fiction with the "subjection or liberty" of women suggests that the gothic genre was one of the barometric modes of registering and measuring society.

	Boxing the Compass: Ontario's Geopoetics
		As a cultural and poetic entity the "dignified old affair" that is Ontario and the Ontario mentality in Duncan's allegorical novel is seldom discussed in the criticism of Canadian poetry.
		Although the 1984 celebrations of Ontario's bi-centenary were to an extent arbitrary and factitious they at least served the function of focusing the attention of many Ontarians, albeit often wryly, on the two centuries of European civilization in the province and, beyond and beside that, on the rich traditions of the area's native peoples.
		It is certainly true that there are considerable differences (as well as similarities) between Northern and Southern Ontario and that, in typical regionalist form, the inhabitants of the resource-based areas in the Province's north and west view with distrust their fellow Ontarians of the south and east.

		Valdemar." Omits Gothic drama and overlooks the important role of the chapbooks and shilling shockers in determining the direction of the genre in the nineteenth century.
		The essays examine and assess the Gothic’s literary, historical and cultural significance from Horace Walpole to Angela Carter.
		Noting that an upswing in Gothic horror and terror seems to coincide with the end of one century and the beginning of another (the fin de siecle effect), the thirteen essays probe questions of the Gothic in transition and the shift in definition accompanying centenary change.

		Ontario is 1,600 km east to west, half the span of the United States.
		Northern Ontario comprises most of the province and is, for the most part, wilderness.
		Built in 1866 (which is really old for Ontario) to handle Toronto's over-population of dead people, Mount Pleasant was one of the first non-denominational cemeteries in the city.

	Gothic fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gothic fiction began in the United Kingdom with The Castle of Otranto (1764) by Horace Walpole.
		Gothic revival architecture, which became popular in the nineteenth century, was a reaction to the classical architecture that was a hallmark of the Age of Reason.
		In a way similar to the gothic revivalists' rejection of the clarity and rationalism of the neoclassical style of the Enlightened Establishment, the term "gothic" became linked with an appreciation of the joys of extreme emotion, the thrill of fearfulness and awe inherent in the sublime, and a quest for atmosphere.

		Residents of Ontario are not taught an appreciation of local architecture in school, and thus, while many people are interested, they don't always know where to start to look.
		This is the standard book on Ontario architecture; it is the one that all others are measured by.
		The photography and production are 30 years old, and the results are not in the same league as the much later books, but the in depth research, the witty prose style, and the humourous but caring attitude of authors makes it a book that can be read many times.

	Vacation in Canada--Ontario (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The name "Ontario" is derived from the Iroquois word for "shining waters." The province is immense, nearly half a million square miles, from the bustling Great Lakes to the sparsely-populated wilderness of Hudson Bay.
		A good place to start exploring the city is Yonge Street, "the longest street in the world." This artery starts on the shore of Lake Ontario and stretches 1,000 miles north, under various names, into the Canadian wilderness.
		The area bordered by Lake Huron, Lake Ontario, and Lake Erie offers visitors a rich variety of activities for the visitor, including battle sites from the American forays into Canada during the War of 1812, and automobile manufacturing plants at Oshawa and Hamilton.

	Upstate
		Gothic revival and Italianate style cobblestone buildings are relatively few.
		While most of the cobblestone structures built were farmhouses, since most upstate New Yorkers were farmers, cobblestone structures were built in villages and cities also, including a business block in Batavia, a reaper manufacturing building in Perry, a warehouse in Palmyra, and an agricultural equipment factory in Macedon, all razed years ago.
		In fact, much of the best cobblestone work in Wisconsin and southern Michigan is located in or near places with transplanted New York names such as Rochester, Geneva, Troy, Farmington, Palmyra, Genesee and Walworth.

		This comparison may seem to be neglectful of the actual time frame of The Blind Assassin when its 82-year-old narrator, Mrs Iris Chase Griffen finishes her story in 1999 and when the major crises of her life belong to the first half of the twentieth century.
		However, the narrative is so haunted by restless ghosts, guilty family secrets, and questions of inheritance that it often feels as Victorian as the Chase family monument in Port Ticonderoga cemetery or the Gothic mansion of Avilion built by Iris's grandfather.
		As she rightly says,'You can never get away from where you've been.' Yet there is so much left unexplained that we cannot quite escape the sense that here is another of Atwood's versions of Southern Ontario Gothic; there must be more here than meets the eye.

		Levon is tied to his job as a condition of his parole, and he soon finds himself made an unwilling instrument of Elias and Simon's morbid plan to cure Obdulia of her grief--and win a local cooking contest in the process.
		Down There by the Train is firmly entrenched in the southern Ontario gothic tradition of authors like Matt Cohen and Margaret Atwood, but Sterns's playfulness distinguishes her from her predecessors.
		Against a gothic island landscape somewhere in Canada, the haunted Levon and the morbid herbalist Obdulia work out their redemption through a delicious pulp romance.

	Neutrals
		The French named the group the Neutral Nation because the band did not take part in the endemic warfare that existed between the Huron and the powerful group to the south, the so-called Five Nations Iroquois.
		The population of the Neutrals in 1615 has been estimated at somewhere between 10,000 to 20,000 living in 28-40 villages spread across southern Ontario.
		Whatever name the Neutrals used for their confederacy has been lost, but most Iroquoian tribes in southern Ontario referred to themselves collectively as the Wendat "dwellers on a peninsula." The Huron called them the Attiwandaron (Attionondaron or Attiwandaronk) meaning "those who speak a little differently." The Iroquois name, Hatiwantarunh, had a similar meaning.
