In Darkest London is a full-length study of the Victorian Urban Gothic, a pervasive mode that appears not only in straightforward novels of terror but also in the works of mainstream authors. Placing the conventions of the Gothic form in their proper historical context, In Darkest London will appeal to scholars and students interested in an in-depth survey of the Urban Gothic.English fiction19th centuryHistory and criticismCity and town lifeEnglandLondonHistory19th centuryLondon (England)In literatureLondon (England)Intellectual lifeEnglish fictionHistory and criticism.City and town lifeHistory820.9008Ridenhour Jamieson1496926MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786025703321In darkest London3721863UNINA
