Abstract:
This thesis examines the role of the Gothic double as articulated within the contemporary graphic novel. Discussing representations, interpretations and subversions of the Gothic double, the analysis will apply a synthesised theoretical framework of the psychoanalytical double and literary double to five key works from three canonical creators: Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller and Alan Moore. The discussion will be divided into three sections in order to focus on three recurring motifs in the image-text hybrid of the contemporary graphic novel. Firstly, a discussion of superheroes, SF and the Gothic

Abstract:
En 1908 H. James s’interroge sur l’absence de personnages d’enfants hantés dans la littérature. Il croit l’idée inexploitée et la développe en tant qu’amusette gothique, la première en son genre – “a perfectly clear field”. Avait-il raison? Au premier abord, le gothique s’intéresse peu à l’enfant. La figure de l’enfant est prise pour résidu du roman sentimental dont le vrai roman gothique est dépourvu. La thématique est étiquetée “gothique féminin” ou “domestique”–on préfère parler d’éducation et de morale pour expliquer le monde des plus jeunes. Pourtant, certains romans mettent en scène les

Abstract:
This thesis scrutinises the complex ‘afterlife’ of sensation fiction in the wake of the 1860s and ‘70s, after the end of the period that critics have tended to view as the heyday of literary sensationalism. It identifies and explores the consistent framing of sensation fiction as a pathological ‘style of writing’ by middle-class critics in the periodical press, revealing how such responses were moulded by new and emerging medical research into the nervous system, the cellular structure of the body, and the role played by germs in the transmission of diseases.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines Shakespeare’s role as the most significant precursor to the Gothic author in Britain, suggesting that Shakespeare used the same literary conventions that Gothic writers embraced as they struggled to create a new subgenre of the novel. By borrowing from Shakespeare’s canon, these novelists aimed to persuade readers and critics that rather than undermining the novel’s emergent, still unassured status as an acceptable literary genre, the nontraditional aspects of their works paid homage to Shakespeare’s imaginative vision. Gothic novelists thereby legitimized their atte

This thesis examines the way in which four women writers of the 1790s appropriated the architectural metaphors of the Revolution debate in their Gothic novels.

It examines the following authors: Sophia Lee; Ann Radcliffe; Matthew Lewis; the Marquis de Sade; Charles Maturin; James Hogg, and William Godwin.

This thesis examines the representation of male character stereotypes as manifestations of a formula in late eighteenth-century popular fiction. In order to establish the presence of the formula, I have inspected a wide spectrum of both familiar and lesser-known works. Much recent criticism has focused on the passive figure of the heroine as one expression of female anxiety within the texts. In contrast, this thesis draws attention to the critically unseen, active figures surrounding her threatened perfection, by establishing, first, a common representation or role within the formula for each
