More about the book

Victorian Gothic serves as a lens through which British authors articulated their cultural identity and delineated boundaries of societal norms. O'Malley examines how this genre not only reflects the anxieties and fears of the time but also critiques the era's values, revealing what was considered acceptable and what lay beyond the pale. Through a detailed analysis, the book highlights the interplay between literature and cultural context during a transformative period in British history.
