	The Works of Author Adele Kenny
		Gothic was known in medieval times as the French Style – an architectural rather than interior style that dominated the Middle Ages from the twelfth century until the fifteenth century Renaissance.
		Gothic sculpture was closely linked to Gothic architecture and included statues of the Holy Family and saints that stood in the portals of cathedrals and other church buildings.
		Gothic was phased out as the Renaissance took hold, and Classical architecture held sway until the late eighteenth century when “Gothick,” Rococo, and Chinoiserie elements were expressed in romantic, frivolous interpretations that lacked historical accuracy.

	Gothic Revival
		Gothic architecture was dominant in France and the western half of Europe in the 12th through the middle of the 16th centuries.
		In a Gothic cathedral the transverse arches and adjacent piers of the arcade divide the building into bays, the design of which is an architectural unit repeated in each bay.
		One of the compartments of a groin or ribbed vault, in the Romanesque period usually of plastered rubble, in the Gothic period of neatly coursed stones.

		The Victorian Gothic Revival was the first of the Victorian Home Designs to impress Victorian America and considered by many to be the most important Victorian Design.
		This Victorian home style was popular from around 1860 to 1890 and is sometimes considered to be a high elaboration of the Gothic Revival Style and or considered to be a transition style between the Gothic Revival and the Queen Anne.
		But, Folk Victorians were being built long before the Queen Anne style appeared on the scene, and in any case, it is still useful to make a rough distinction between the more expensive, very elaborate, architect-designed Victorians (Queen Anne) and their less-expensive, plainer, carpenter-designed cousins (Folk Victorian).

		The term "Gothic Revival" (sometimes called Victorian Gothic) usually refers to the period of mock-Gothic architecture practised in the second half of the 19th century.
		High Victorian Gothic was applied to a dizzying variety of architectural projects, from hotels to railroad stations, schools to civic centres.
		Victorian Gothic builders lacked that pool of skilled labourers to draw upon, so they were eventually forced to evolve methods of mass-producing decorative elements.

	Victorian
		Victorian architecture, in its broadest sense, is any building or style that was produced during her reign.
		In Ontario, a Victorian style building can be seen as any building built between 1840 and 1900 that doesn't fit into any of the aforementioned categories.
		While this building style is being copied rather frequently, for obvious reasons, you can tell it is the original model because of the chimney by the front parlour and another by the kitchen.

	Gothic Revival architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gothic architecture did not die out completely in the 15th century, but instead lingered on in on-going cathedral-building projects and the construction of churches in increasingly isolated rural districts of England, France, Spain and Germany.
		Similarly, Gothic architecture survived in an urban setting during the later 17th century, as shown in Oxford and Cambridge, where some additions and repairs to Gothic buildings were apparently considered to be more in keeping with the style of the original structures than contemporary Baroque.
		Although Gothic Revival succeeded in becoming an increasingly familiar style of architecture, the attempt to associate it with superiority of the high church, as advocated by Pugin and the ecclesiological movement, was anathema to those with ecumenical or nonconformist principles.

		Victorian Gothic can be traced through many forms, in material cultures and genres often not quite 'Gothic'.
		The relationship between the scientific and the literary text, melodramatic representations of the Gothic body, the intersection of sexuality and degeneration, theories of anthropology and evolution, all continue to fascinate.
		Papers that adopt an interdisciplinary approach and which seek to consider the use of the gothic as an analytical device are especially sought, but studies with a narrower focus and an interest in the wider context are also welcome.

	What constitutes horror in Victorian Gothic
		The principal figures within Gothic works were the wanderer, the vampire, and the seeker of forbidden knowledge, all of which may be found within the Victorian examples of Gothicism to which I make reference.
		Concerning the change of values for Victorian Gothic literature, according to the public's fears, the issues of boundaries and duality of self were raised.
		Jekyll states that his problem stems from a lack of `personal freedom', implying that his problem was a social one, and therefore the novel attempts to connect social and moral aspirations, leading to the issue of internal ambiguity of morals, and social corruption, for which the individual may surely not be blamed.

	Gothic fiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The opprobrious term "gothick" was embraced by the 18th century proponents of the gothic revival, a forerunner of the Romantic genres.
		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.

		Much of the existing scholarship on the Gothic focuses on the psychological components of the genre, almost always exploring the meanings of the work with regard to its writers and their contemporary readers.
		But Mighall takes a different tack, pointing out that the Gothic strove to reassure Victorian readers of their distance, culturally and socially, from past evils and arguing that our theories about the Gothic, especially those that cite it as evidence of Victorian sexual repression, inform us more about who we are today.
		Instead, he demonstrates that writers of the gothic purposely mixed temporalities in order to pit modernity against the past so that readers had evidence of the progressive nature of their own religious, political and social institutions.

	Victorian Gothic Syllabus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02)
		The gothic, marked by anxious encounters with the "other," is manifested in Victorian era literature in several ways: through gender, definitions of mental illness, and through literal creation of monsters.
		This course will trace the ways in which these motifs--sex and sexuality, madness and monstrosities--were present in literature as a reflection of (or perhaps embodiment of) the cultural concerns of their age, as we examine the relationship between dominant culture and its dark underbelly.
		All students might also choose a Victorian text not included on the syllabus and argue that the text should be considered "Gothic" because it in some ways makes use of Gothic motifs, approaches, strategies (again, bringing in ideas from your own major).
