Course Description

Examines the Gothic – a genre which explores the macabre, the supernatural, the uncanny. Tracks the Gothic's recurrent features and themes, asking how and why it manages to speak the "unspeakable" through a series of dark tales that flirt with the supernatural. Why does the Gothic emerge with particular intensity at times of cultural crisis? How and why might it function as a vehicle for social critique? Contemporary critical approaches to the Gothic provide students with a variety of tools for reading these texts.
