Last week's discovery of the Gothic skew in my personal library has haunted me. I've been drawn to the Web like a mesmerized fly...wait, stop it. Here are some links I found offering various definitions of "Gothic Literature" (some broad enough to include everything I've ever read), and some interesting criticism and analysis.
- Literary Gothic:The Literary Gothic is a Web guide to all things concerned with literary Gothicism, which includes ghost stories, "classic" Gothic novels and Gothic fiction (1764-1820), and related pre- and post-Gothic and supernaturalist literature written prior to the mid-C20. Its target audience is all students and fans of the Gothic, regardless of age, academic level, profession, or just about anything else.
- Gothic Literature Pages presented by Zittaw Press, Purveyors of the Trade Gothic, specializing in scholarly editions of early Gothic and Romantic texts. Also, a great list of links.
- Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto on Blogger. It's a novel, used by Blogger to demonstrate how to put your book on the Web as a blog. Poor Horace Walpole. He's received much comment spam, some of which is pretty hilarious.
- Reflections on the Grotesque by Joyce Carol Oates (April 1993). Originally published in Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque
- Supernatural Horror in Literature by H. P. Lovecraft
- Resources for the Study of Gothic Literature compiled and annotated by Douglass H. Thomson of Georgia Southern University
- Genres of Southern Literature by Lucinda MacKethan, North Carolina State University from Southern Spaces, a peer-reviewed, online journal exploring the real and imagined places of the American South and their connections with the wider world
