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. 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCity and town life$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aLondon (England)$xIn literature 607 $aLondon (England)$xIntellectual life 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCity and town life$xHistory 676 $a820.9008 700 $aRidenhour$b Jamieson$01496926 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786025703321 996 $aIn darkest London$93721863 997 $aUNINA
