Download or read book Love Mystery and Misery written by Coral Ann Howells and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current Gothic revival in literature and film encourages us to look again to the earliest Gothic novels written beween 1790 and 1820, when Gothic was the most popular kind of fiction in England. Dr. Howells proposes a radical reassessment of these novels to emphasize their importance as experiments in imaginative writing. Her object, the study of feeling, is central to Gothic, for its spell consists in the feelings it arouses and exercises. As pseudo-historical fantasy, Gothic fiction embodies contemporary neuroses, especially sexual fears and repressions, which run right through it and are basic to its conventions. This study traces the effort to articulate these disconcerting emotions in symbol, incident, landscape and architecture. The chronological design suggests developments in Gothic, from the initial explorations of Mrs Radcliffe and M.G. Lewis, through the Minerva Press novelists and Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey", to new directions taken by C.R. Maturin in "Melmoth the Wanderer" and later by Charlotte Bronte whose "Jane Eyre", arguably the finest of Gothic novels, places the earlier experiments in perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This strongly moralistic and didactic tale narrates the seduction and murder of the innocent Josephine by the libertine Lord Albert. Written in 1812 by Sarah Wilkinson and published by Ann Lemoine, the chapbook is an adaptation of the ballad 'Alonzo the Brave, and Fair Imogine' by Matthew Lewis which originally appeared in The Monk in 1796. The ballad relates the woeful tale of Imogine, who promises fidelity to Alonzo, but falls in love with a wealthy baron. Alonzo, who has perished in battle, comes to reclaim his 'bride' at her wedding, dragging her to hell for breaking her promise. Wilkinson's adaptation weaves a supernatural tale with didacticism creating a moralistic thriller.An excellent example of 'Trade' Gothic, Albert of Werdendorff illustrates the transformation and adaptation of the 'canonical' Gothic during the early nineteenth century.
Download or read book Gothic Tales written by Mary Shelley and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories are wrapped in a romantic atmosphere and try to describe characters whose most conspicuous element is being subjected to the influence of strong passions, which sometimes give rise to supernatural or extremely extraordinary events, or are the product of this type of event . Thus, in The transformation, a strong pride becomes the tyrant that moves all the actions of the protagonist of the story, which leads him to an extraordinary situation, in whose description all the elements abound that give the reader the aesthetic sensation of the sublime. In another story, The Dream, what leads to the extraordinary act is an intense conflict between two opposing passions, and in The Immortal Mortal it is jealousy that leads the protagonist to commit an act that will lead him to a more conflictive and intense sentimental situation, which marks the end of the story. Both the exposition of characters constituted by an abnormal and deformed passionate structure and the description of the extraordinary and horrible situations that these characters bring about, which tend to impress the reader, place all these stories at the very center of the Gothic.
Download or read book The Orphan of the Rhine written by Eleanor Sleath and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is a strangely attractive absurdity, which excites a sort of sugary fascination over the reader." - Michael Sadleir "An elegantly composed anthology of Germanic terror and gloomy topographical grandeur . . . Sleath's management of violent incident, genealogical procrastinations and complications, and the allurement of ruins often equals the finesse of [Ann] Radcliffe herself. Everything about this Gothic romance seems expertly designed to excite the palate of Jane Austen's Catherine Morland and the legions of . . . readers with similar tastes." - Prof. Frederick S. Frank, The First Gothics Seduced and betrayed by a rake, Julie de Rubine lives in seclusion with her infant son, Enrîco. One day, their calm retirement is interrupted by the Marchese de Montferrat, who promises to provide for Julie and her son if she agrees to care for an unfortunate orphan, Laurette, whose origin is shrouded in mystery. Under the assumed name of Madame Chamont, Julie raises the two children, whose youthful friendship eventually blossoms into love. As Laurette matures, she resolves to learn the identity of her real parents. Her only clues are a painted miniature of a beautiful lady and the whisperings of a sinister monk, who warns her to avoid the Marchese de Montferrat. But when Julie is kidnapped by banditti and Laurette is taken to the gloomy castle of the lascivious Marchese, will she be able to uncover the truth and marry her beloved Enrîco, or will she fall victim to the lustful Montferrat? The rarest of the seven "horrid novels," Eleanor Sleath's The Orphan of the Rhine (1798) is indebted to Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) and Regina Maria Roche's The Children of the Abbey (1796) but possesses a charm and fascination all its own. This new edition, the first in 50 years, includes a new introduction by Ellen Moody.
