The Gothic as a literary mode extending well beyond its first proponents in eighteenth-century England is well established in English studies but has been strangely under-used by Hispanists. Now Abigail Lee Six uses it as the paradigm through which to analyse the novels of Adelaida GarcİU?a Morales; while not suggesting that every novel by this author is a classic Gothic text, she reveals certain constants in the work that can be related to the Gothic, evenin novels which one might not classify as such. Each of the novels studied is paired with an English-language Gothic text, such as Dracula, Frankenstein and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and then read in the lightof it. The focus of each chapter ranges from psychological aspects, such as fear of decay or otherness, or the pressures linked to managing secrets, to more concrete elements such as mountains and frightening buildings, and to keyfigures such as vampires, ghosts, or monsters. This approach sheds new light on how GarcİU?a Morales achieves probably the most distinguishing feature of her novels: their harrowing atmosphere. ABIGAIL LEE SIX is Professor of Hispanic Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London. 410 0$aColeccion Tamesis.$nSerie A,$pMonografias ;$v223. 606 $aGothic revival (Literature) 606 $aComparative literature$xThemes, motives 615 0$aGothic revival (Literature) 615 0$aComparative literature$xThemes, motives. 676 $a863.64 700 $aSix$b Abigail Lee$0683892 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911008438503321 996 $aThe Gothic fiction of Adelaida Garcia Morales$94396149 997 $aUNINA
