In the last decade of the eighteenth century, as Britain went to war again with France, this time in the wake of revolution, the continuing connections between Gothic literature and France through the realms of translation, adaptation and unacknowledged borrowing led to strong suspicions of Gothic literature taking on a subversive role in diminishing British patriotism. Angela Wright explores the development of Gothic literature in Britain in the context of the fraught relationship between Britain and France, offering fresh perspectives on the works of Walpole, Radcliffe, 'Monk' Lewis and their contemporaries.Cambridge studies in Romanticism ;99.Britain, France & the Gothic, 1764-1820Gothic fiction (Literary genre), EnglishHistory and criticismRomanticismGreat BritainRomanticismFranceComparative literatureEnglish and FrenchComparative literatureFrench and EnglishGothic revival (Literature)Gothic fiction (Literary genre), EnglishHistory and criticism.RomanticismRomanticismComparative literatureEnglish and French.Comparative literatureFrench and English.Gothic revival (Literature)823/.08729Wright Angela1969 May 14-1524114UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910786217403321Britain, France and the Gothic, 1764-18203780717UNINA
