Diving right into Spooky Season by tracing the history of the English Gothic novel. In this first episode of the series, we discuss where the term “Gothic” came from and how it moved from architecture to literature in England in the late eighteenth century. We then trace the evolution of the English Gothic novel from 1764 up until the beginning of the 20th century by looking at the tropes that define the genre and, of course, a mention of Freud.
[3:45] “For historical context, English Gothic literature emerged at a time of political, economic, and social upheaval.”
[10:26] “Gothic [found] itself relegated to the popular and trashy realm of cheap, formulaic fiction.”
[15:00] “But what Freud also provided was a springboard of sorts for the Gothic to travel across the Atlantic.”
