Course Overview
Gothic Literature
This course will explore the origins and development of Gothic literature in the British Isles. Gothic literature begins in the eighteenth century, as a counterpoint to and reaction against Neoclassicism. It replaced the Neoclassic obsession with order, proportion, reason and beauty with disorder, disproportion, irrational and sublime. The Gothic confronts and embodies the fears of sexuality, foreignness, economic displacement and knowledge. During this semester, we will explore the history and theory of the Gothic. We will read classic Gothic novels and explore them in context of the theories of Burke’s and Kant’s Sublime, and Freud’s psychoanalysis, among others
