Gothic Fiction

Gothic fiction is literature which uses primitive medieval, wild, or mysterious elements. Gothic fiction often feature places like mysterious and gloomy castles and uses elements of fear, the supernatural and darkness, as well as by characters such as vampires, demons, heroes and villains.

The English Gothic novel began with Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story (1764). It was during the Romantic Period that Gothic literature was born. Two of the most famous Gothic novelists are Ann Radcliffe and Mary Shelley.

Romanticism: Was a literary period, from 1785-1860, but had its glamour years between 1800-1840. Its goal was to express yourself in a more emotional, more symbolic way - the stories would not necessarily be romantic, but they had subtle meanings. Furthermore the strong use of feelings and the exploration of nature and the supernatural. Famous authors in the period includes: Jane Austen, Lord Byron and of course Edgar Allen Poe.

Gothic Literature: The Castle Of Otranto By Horace Walpole, is often regarded as the first Gothic romance. Even though the Gothic period firstly was announced in the middle of the romantic period (late 18^th century).

Traits of gothic literature, dark and gloomy settings, the characters and situations are fantastic, grotesque, wild, savage and mysterious, and often also melodramatic. Two of the most famous gothic novelists are Anne Radcliffe and Mary Shelley. 

Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe represent the first great literary generation produced in the United States. He writes a darkly metaphysical vision mixed with elements of realism, parody, and burlesque. Many of his stories are science fiction, horror, and fantasy.

Poe was orphaned at an early age. Poe's was married to his cousin who was only 13 years. People have interpreted it, like if he tries to find the stable family life he lacked.

Poe thinks that strangeness is beauty and he often writes exotically. His characters bury themselves in dark castles and hide the real world such as the sun, windows, walls and floors. The themes of death-in-life, especially being buried alive or returning like a vampire from the grave, appear in many of his works. They are symbolic expressions of the unconscious.

Poe's stories have been described as tales of horror. Poe has a fascination with the mind and the unsettling scientific knowledge that was secularizing the 19th-century world view and in every genre. Poe also explores the psyche. Poe combined decadence and romantic primitivism, which appealed a lot to Europeans. Poe accurately described the underside of the American dream of the self-made man and showed the price of materialism and excessive competition loneliness, alienation, and images of death-in-life.
