The gothic novel in Ireland <i>c.</i> 1760-1829

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;The gothic novel in Ireland c. 1760&lt;/i&gt;-&lt;i&gt;1829&lt;/i&gt; offers a compelling account of the development of gothic literature in late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century Ireland. Countering traditional scholarly views of the 'rise' of 'the gothic novel' on the one hand and on the other Irish Romantic literature this study persuasively re-integrates a body of now overlooked works into the history of the literary gothic as it emerged across Ireland Britain and Europe between 1760 and 1829. Its twinned quantitative and qualitative analysis of neglected Irish texts produces a new formal generic and ideological map of gothic literary production in this period persuasively positioning Irish works and authors at the centre of a new critical paradigm with which to understand both Irish Romantic and gothic literary production.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.&lt;/p&gt;
