摘要

From picaresque fiction, through social realism, to the decadence of Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), the Victorian period is characterised by literary transformations. Acknowledging the protean nature of the Gothic as a mode rather than a genre, this compact yet comprehensive volume is a substantial achievement. In their introduction, the editors, now senior academics in English at Glamorgan and Bath Spa Universities in the UK, respectively, strike a distinct balance which characterises this book as a whole, taking an epistemological approach while emphasising the transmutation or "undecidability" (p. 2) of Gothic. The ensuing essays, averaging about 14 pages or 7,000 words each, form an accessible, elegantly structured and economical whole. The only feature missing is a chronology of key texts and cultural events by way of preface, which would have framed a useful historical introduction and context for what follows.
