It also explores the role of Catholicism in the formation of the Gothic genre, and how it contributed to the development of the supernatural and horror elements of the genre.The author analyzes a range of Gothic texts from the period, including Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho, Matthew Lewis's The Monk, and Charlotte Dacre's Zofloya, among others, to demonstrate the use of Catholic materials in creating a sense of fear and terror in the reader.Overall, Catholicism In Gothic Fiction: A Study Of The Nature And Function Of Catholic Materials In Gothic Fiction In England 1762-1820 provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of Catholicism in Gothic literature during a significant period in English literary history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
