William Beckford's 'Vathek': Moral, Immoral or Ironic?

More about the book

The analysis focuses on William Beckford's Gothic novel "Vathek," exploring its complex moral concepts shaped by the narrator. It examines the text's moral philosophy and concludes that Beckford's narrative functions as a sophisticated "auto-satire." Additionally, the interpretation situates the work within broader contexts, including the Enlightenment era and the genre history of Gothic novels, providing a deeper understanding of its thematic and stylistic significance.
