ENGLISH 4ST3 - Even Stranger Things: The Early Gothic

3 unit(s)

One of the more paradoxical legacies of the British Enlightenment is the Gothic, with its attraction to the ghastly
and the supernatural. This seminar will chart the emergence of Gothic writing in the eighteenth century, with
particular attention to how this literature responds to the social ills and anxieties that attend the emergence of
modern life.
