A Good Starting Point,
 Â
The Gothic Tradition provides a very good starting point for anyone studying this area of Literature. It provides synopses of the historical revival of the Gothic tradition and the early manifestations of ‘Gothic’ in literature, art and architecture. There are some excellent exercises which will help the student develop a better understanding of Gothic literature, including extracts from various ‘Gothic’ novels which could be compared etc. The book also provides an extensive suggested reading list for further investigation which is very useful.
An excellent beginning indeed.

|worth the money,
This is a well structured book that provides a good introduction to the study of the Gothic. It’s accesible to A Level students – not written in academese! – and provides some good (albeit breif) analysis of certain key gothic texts such as Frankenstein. Sometimes it can be a bit random – there’s a whole paragraph on gothic music – but generally it is focused on key gothic themees. A good companion for anybody starting to study Gothicism.
