Description:

Gothic verse expressed the dark side of Romantic and Victorian verse: its medievalism, melancholy and morbidity. Some poets intended merely to shock or entertain, but Gothic also liberated the creative imagination and inspired them to enter disturbing areas of the psyche and to portray extreme states of human consciousness. This is the first modern anthology of Gothic verse, and illustrates that journey.

Review Quotes:

"A landmark publication in the field of both Gothic and Romantic scholarship, Franklin's The Longman Anthology of Gothic Verse is bound fundamentally to shift and alter the way we teach, and critically conceptualise, the poetry and prose of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries."
