The Uses of the Late Victorian and Neo-Victorian Gothic

Zusatztext

"The Uses of the Late Victorian and Neo-Victorian Gothic" was originally written as a Bachelors thesis at the University of St. Gallen. It examines the various uses of the Gothic literary mode in Robert Louis Stevensons "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1886), Oscar Wildes "The Picture of Dorian Gray" (1890), Henry James "The Turn of the Screw" (1898), and Sarah Waters "Affinity" (1999). In particular, it illustrates how stylistic elements of late Victorian and neo-Victorian Gothic can be used as a medium for controversial or delicate message-conveyance.
