Rashan Leigh Coffeehouse # 3

  1. Gothic elements can also be seen even in earlier works that began the English novel tradition.(pg 3)
  2. One of the great strengths of the Gothic is its ability to articulate the voice of the other within its fancy dress disguise of stylized contestations.(pg 8)
  3. Gothic interest in extreme states can also be seen to correlate with widespread social anxieties and fears.(pg 6)
  4. Among the most striking features of the Gothic genre is the style of its architectural settings.(pg 7)
  5. The chapter further explained that “certain unique cultural pressures led Americans to the Gothic as an expression of their very different conditions” (pg 4).
