This volume in the novels section of casebooks surveys the rise and development of the Gothic tale of mystery and horror, from the mid-19th century to the eve of the Victorian period.

Particular attention is given to the cardinal place in this literary genre of Walpole's Castle of Otranto , Beckford's Vathek , Lewis' The Monk , Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein .
