ENGL 1220-001, 002: From Gothic to Horror (Spring 2019)

Illustration of lightning bolts entering a gothic style room

Explores literature in the Gothic mode and aesthetic and critical theories related to modern "horror" genres or their precursors. Introduces literary-critical concepts (such as notions of abjection, repression and anxiety) that developed alongside this branch of literature. Students read canonical works in British and American traditions while reflecting on notions of popular or marginalized literature.
