Gothic Tales of Terror: Classic Horror Stories from Great Britain
Peter Haining
From 1765 to 1840, Gothic tales held Britain and much of Europe in thrall. Readers found retreat from drab reality in ruined abbeys, moonlit castles, pathless woods and blasted heaths — peopled by knightly heroes, oppressed maidens and wicked tyrants; haunted by ghosts, spectres, vampires, animated corpses and grinning skulls. Peter Haining introduces and provides a linking commentary for thirty of the finest British Gothic stories, charting their seventy-five-year reign of
terror, mystery and suspense from Walpole to Sheridan Le Fanu. Pioneers of the macabre like Mrs Radcliffe, Maturin and 'Monk' Lewis are here. So, more surprisingly, are Shelley, Byron and Thackeray among many others, each providing proof that a revival of the Gothic Revival was long overdue. [Back Cover]
