| Abstract | This book examines the rise of Fantastic literature on the continent in the nineteenth century, the development of a European Gothic and the influence that this exerted on British writers. By examining the likes of Nodier, Hoffmann, Gautier, Feval and Stevenson, the book first argues how their writings subvert entirely the view of the Fantastic accepted by Todorov, Punter and others, to show that it is the reversal of a pre-Enlightenment, spiritual world-view that causes terror in these works, and further demonstrates that Gothic novels frequently use allusion and anachronism to portray a cyclical view of history opposed to that of Scott. |
