Review Quotes
David Punter, University of Bristol | European Romantic Review
“As the volume that covers what is usually regarded as the heartland of early Gothic fiction, Davison’s contribution bears a heavy responsibility, and she addresses this task with weight and dignity. She has things to say about all the major Gothic fictions of the period, from Horace Walpole to C. R. Maturin, and indeed takes this further into some interesting thoughts on Victorian Gothic. As an introduction to these novels and stories, this will undoubtedly be a useful text for scholars and students alike, and arguably it fulfills its remit admirably. . . . [A] very valuable book.”
