Description

This astonishing collection of 95 rare Gothic tales from British Literary Annuals tales takes us further than perhaps eighteenth or nineteenth-century scholars are comfortable with- to the Gothic's afterlife. Once touted as a literary "dead zone" -the Annuals of the1820s and 30s are unexpectedly populated with dozens of terrifying and horrific Gothic tales. A groundbreaking collection, Forgotten Gothic, illustrates the continued development of the Gothic genre even after its supposed death in 1820.
