THE GOTHIC NOVEL, (G.N). The first horror.





The Gotic Novel was invated by Horace Walpole. Her first G.N whose The Castle of Otranto in 1764.
The basic elements that I dion't inclued in my list are setting in a castle; an atmosphere of mystery and suspense; omens ( auguri ), portents ( presagis ), visions; high, even overwrought emotion; women in distress, women threatened by a powerful, impulstive, tyranical male.
