Ann Radcliffe, Romanticism and the Gothic
This book offers unique and fresh perspectives upon the literary productions of one of the most highly remunerated and widely admired authors of the Romantic period, Ann Radcliffe (1764–1823). While drawing upon, consolidating and enriching the critical impulses reflected in Radcliffe scholarship to date, this collection of essays, composed by a range of renowned scholars of the Romantic period, also foregrounds the hitherto neglected aspects of …

Improvement and Repair
This article seeks to provide a politically nuanced reading of the treatment of acts of architectural modification in a selection of late 18th‐ and early 19th‐century Gothic fictions. Reading scenes of Gothic architectural restoration as they are figured in Ann Radcliffe’s ; T. J. Horsley Curties’; and Jane Austen’s alongside contemporary architectural debates, the argument pays particular attention to the extended cultural interchange between ar…
Gothic Shakespeares
Missing Intertexts
I sit with Shakespeare and he winces not. Across the color line I move arm in arm with Balzac and Dumas, where smiling men and welcoming women glide in gilded halls. From out the caves of evening that swing between the strong-limbed earth and the tracery of the stars, I summon Aristotle and Aurelius and what soul I will, and they come all graciously with no scorn nor condescension. So, wed with Truth, I dwell above the Veil.

Work and Text in the Later Writings of Roland Barthes
This paper investigates the use to which the categories of “work” and “Text” are put in the later writings of Roland Barthes. The paper proceeds to argue that despite Barthes's vehement repudiation of the foreclosing effects of a theoretical oeuvre, his later publications, including, inter alia, S/Z (1970), Empire of Signs (1970), The Pleasure of the Text (1973), Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes (1975) and a number of anthologised essays, are lin…
Transgression, writing and violence in romantic Gothic Fiction, 1794–1820
This article is divided into three sections. Section one, in a self‐conscious act of critical aggression, approaches a range of Gothic narratives, including Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho [1794](1980), Matthew Gregory Lewis's The Monk [1796](1980), Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: Or, The Modern Prometheus [1818](1980) and Charles Robert Maturin's Melmoth the Wanderer [1820](1989) with the metaphysical distinction between “Nature” and “Cult…
