Four Gothic Novels: The Castle of Otranto; Vathek; The Monk; Frankenstein (World's Classics)

Each of these four Gothic stories reveals a psychological tale of isolation and monomania. H. Walpole’s ‘The Castle of Otranto’ is filled with terror and ghostly interventions. William Beckford’s ‘Vathek’ alternates grotesque comedy with scenes of exotic magnificence. ‘The Monk’, by Matthew Lewis and M. Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ are also included.

Posted by Notcot on Apr 25, 2011 in Gothic

First published pseudonymously in 1764, The Castle of Otranto purported to be a translation of an Italian story of the time of the crusades. Walpole gives us a series of catastrophes, ghostly interventions, revelations of identity, and exciting contexts. Emma Clery’s new introduction and notes make this the definitive edition.
