Gothic Novel In Romantic Age
The great novelists of the Romantic Age are Jane Austen and Scott, but before them there appeared some novelists who came under the spell of medievalism and wrote novels of ‘terror’ or the ‘Gothic novels’. Gothic novel, also referred to as Gothic horror, is a genre of literature that combines elements of both horror and romance. The origin of this type of fiction can be ascribed to Horace Walpole’s (1717-97) The Castle of Otranto (1746). Here the story is set in medieval Italy and it includes a gigantic helmet that can strike dead its victims, tyrants, supernatural intrusions, mysteries and secrets. There were a number of imitators of such a type of novel during the Eighteenth century as well as in the Romantic Age.
