Gothic Romanticism: Architecture, Politics, and Literary Form
Gothic Romanticism is a study of the relationship between British Romanticism and the Gothic Revival. Reading a wide range of canonical and rare texts, and spanning the Romantic discourses of architecture, politics, and literary form, the book recovers the collaborative project of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Southey for a purified 'Gothic' poetry and a 'second Gothic' culture.
