| (3 cr.) This course offers a historical survey of the
Gothic genre, from Horace Walpole's 1764 The
Castle of Otranto to more contemporary exemplars
of the Gothic genre in North America (Anne Rice,
Suzy McGee-Charnas, Joyce Carol Oates) and Europe
(Patrick Susskind, Patrick McGrath). The course
considers the Gothic genre's development in
historical, social and cultural contexts, as well
as the structural and epistemological changes that
have emerged since the late 18th-early 19th
centuries.
