Inhalt: This course will trace the development of the Gothic novel by, and eventually largely for, women from Ann Radcliffe through the Brontës and up to the twentieth-century “woman in peril” novel. We will test the interestingly gendered distinction between horror and terror, and explore the way in which to the novel incorporates ides of the sublime and the beautiful, and the ways in which the fiction addresses specifically female issues. We will consider the construction of a female readership and ideas about the place of such novels in the literary landscape, which we will in part through Jane Austen’s gentle satire of the genres and its readers.
