| When we think of the word “Gothic”, various images come to mind: the mysterious castle, locked rooms and secret passageways, a tyrannical villain, and the vulnerable hero or heroine who is subjected to unspeakable terror. In producing these images, the Gothic also encodes a critique of patriarchal tyranny, and thus an explicit or implicit political awareness. At the end of the eighteenth century, this signaled specifically an engagement with the social, political and economic upheaval which characterized the period and with the desire for individual freedom articulated by the French Revolution. In this course we will read texts that engage with these issues, and that display the recurring themes and images that mark literary works as “Gothic”, and which, in doing so, also exhibit the variety and heterogeneity of the genre.
