THREE IMPORTANT ESSAYS IN THE GOTHIC MODE

 Among the many important articles on Gothic theory and criticism written throughout the years, three stand out as fundamental readings for any serious student of the Gothic genre.  It occurred to me that I should make an entry pointing out these three writings and, fortunately, they are available free online to read and/or download.


In order of the year of publication:


On the Supernatural in Poetry (1826) by Ann Radcliffe
The Uncanny (1919) by Sigmund Freud
Supernatural Horror in Literature (1927) by H. P. Lovecraft
