 Gothic Literature
By the end of the 18th Century the meaning of the word "Gothic" sort of switched from "medieval" to "macabre", all with a little help from a man with a big black lump of coal between his ears named Horace Walpole (1717-1797).
It introduced what would be two of the major themes in the Gothic: the Faustian pursuit if forbidden knowledge and the dilemma of innocence that relies on ignorance.

 The Gothic of Horror Literature - Horror Literature
It is interesting to note that gothic literature began to divide into numerous formations shortly after the genre came into official existence.
Yet in its written form, many believe that true horror literature originated with the “gothic” literature genre in the mid-to-late eighteenth century.
Then again, the themes of Shelly’s novel certainly tug at the “horror” strings: isolation, life after death, chaotic ambition and the consequences of playing god can equally be looked upon as an in-depth look into the horrors of a dark humanity.

 Guardian Unlimited Books Top 10s Paul Murray: top 10 gothic novels
William Beckford's History of the Caliph Vathek (1786) merged the 18th century fashion for oriental tales with the newly-established gothic tradition.
Representing a significant stride in the evolution of the genre, Melmoth profoundly influenced some of the most important writers of the 19th century, including Scott, Thackeray and Baudelaire.
It has been reinterpreted afresh by each succeeding generation, a sure sign of a masterpiece, and still generates oceans of critical comment, some of it profound, some unintentionally hilarious, much of it just plain silly.

 Calls For Publications: Asian Gothic Literature
Despite its Anglo-centric literary heritage, I believe that the Gothic, in its ambivalence and susceptibility to polyvalent interpretations and theorising, is a helpful way of reading and understanding the vast output of powerful Asian texts that carry strong strains of the forbidden, the extraordinary, the fantastic, the supernatural and the uncanny (amongst other 'Gothic' concerns).
I am interested in the way Gothic as a theory and a poetics of reading can help elucidate some crucial insights into the complexity of some Asian writing (of course, argument for a particular text to be read as Gothic must be staged first).
I want to stress, however, that only twentieth- and twenty-first century texts will be considered.

 Gothic Literature Read by the Romantic Writers
For the Gothic novel I've begun with such standard references as Summers' A Gothic Bibliography, Frank's Guides to the Gothic, Spector's The English Gothic, McNutt's The Eighteenth Century Gothic Novel, and Tracy's The Gothic Novel: 1790-1830 for a working canon from which to compile lists of those works of fiction read by the poets.
One final note that might suggest the kind of challenge faced in the compilation of this list: I was puzzled to find no evidence of any of the poets' having read novels of two of the most popular and formative writers of Gothic fiction, Clara Reeve and Charlotte Smith.
What I really hope for the list is that it will spark some lively debate about our understanding of just what constitutes the Gothic--always a wonderfully vexatious issue—and (at this stage) the significance of the major poets' reading of specific Gothic literary works.

 "Unspeakable" Desires - Gothic Literature & Homosexuality
It was part of the strange fate of the early Gothic that the genre as a whole, conflicted as it was, came in the nineteenth century to seem a crystallization of the aristocratic homosexual role, even as the aristocracy was losing its normative force in English society more generally.
Sexuality between men had, throughout the Judeo-Christian tradition, been famous among those who knew about it at all precisely for having no name--"unspeakable," "unmentionable," "not to be named among Christian men," are among the terms recorded by Louis Crompton.
Sexuality in the Gothic novel is harrowing in its "aberrant" nature and in its association with the perversion of power.

 Southern Gothic: Information From Answers.com
One of the most notable features of the Southern Gothic is the grotesque, a stock character who possesses some cringe-inducing qualities, typically bigotry and self-righteousness, but enough good traits that the reader finds himself empathizing nevertheless.
Like its parent genre, it relies on supernatural, ironic or unusual events to guide the plot.
This genre of writing is seen in the work of such famous Southern writers as William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Carson McCullers, Erskine Caldwell, Eudora Welty, Tennessee Williams, and John Kennedy Toole.
