| ARTICLES RELATED TO Gothic novel | | | | |  Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - The Phantom of the Opera - PlotThe Phantom of The Opera is a Gothic novel, combining romance, horror fiction, mystery, and tragedy.
In Leroux's original 1910 novel, the setting is 19th century Paris at the Opera Garnier (The Paris Opera or The National Academy of Music), a luxurious and monumental building which has been built between 1857 and 1874 over a huge underground lake.

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Wise Blood - Themes Wise Blood can be read simply as a comedy of grotesques (the so-called "Southern Gothic"), for it is comedic and has grotesques. It can also be read as a rare philosophical novel, for it does posit alternating views of reality against one another and ask the reader to resolve the conflict. It can even be read as a social text, for the novel does capture the South at a time of great tension, when, after World War II, the rural and cosmopolitan populations were jarring, and tent-revival preachers met big city marketing. However, Wise ...

| | | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - The Ivory Tower - Key themes James clearly meant this novel as an attack on the gigantic wealth of the Gilded Age plutocrats. He presents Abel Gaw with almost Gothic intensity as a predatory financier, "with his beak, which had pecked so many hearts out, visibly sharper than ever." James shows Betterman, as his name suggests, in a slightly more favorable light if only because he has repented somewhat for his past financial sins.
The younger people are just as reprehensible, with the possible exceptions of Rosanna and Gray. "We're all unspeakably corrupt," says Vi ...

| | | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Flannery O'Connor - Career An important voice in American literature, O'Connor would write two novels and 32 short stories, as well as a number of reviews and commentaries. She was a Southern writer in the vein of William Faulkner, often writing in a Southern Gothic style and relying heavily on regional settings and grotesque characters. A "born" Roman Catholic, her writing is deeply informed by the sacramental, and by the Thomist notion that the created world is charged with God.
The Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, named in honor of O'Connor, is a prize given annually to ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Germanic neopaganism - Artistic Output And Influence Grown out of 19th century Romanticism, the Viking revival had associations with the Gothic novel and Romantic art such as the Pre-Raphaelites or the art nouveau. Also of note is the influence of Richard Wagner's "Ring Cycle." Artistic taste of Asatru adherents is often related to the High Fantasy genre based on Germanic mythology. New Age currents are another influence. These elements blend with traditional Germanic folklore.
There have been several novels published by Heathens, particularly Diana Paxson and Kveldulf Gundarsson under the name Stephen Grundy, ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Gormenghast - Genre and Style The series is usually described as a fantasy work. However, there is no magic and no intelligent races other than humans, as is usual in high fantasy such as The Lord of the Rings. Another valid classification would be to place Gormenghast in the genre of the fantastic, with marked gothic and surrealist influences.
Gormenghast has a much less focused plot than is usual for most novels. Though Titus and Steerpike are often considered the main characters, they share the narrative ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Rebecca film - Summary Rebecca stars Laurence Olivier as Maxim de Winter, Joan Fontaine as his second wife, and Judith Anderson as his late wife's servant, Mrs. Danvers. The film is a gothic tale about the lingering memory of the title character, which still controls her husband, his new bride, and the housekeeper of their estate, Manderley, long after her death. (The plot of the novel Rebecca is largely unchanged in the film.)
In Du Maurier's work, the second wife, who narrated the tale, was never identified by name. This central character, played by Fontaine, remains unnamed in the film as well, ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Maria Monk - Literary antecedents Reed's book became a best-seller, and Monk or her handlers hoped to cash in on the evident market for anti-Catholic horror fiction by their offering. The tale of Maria Monk was, in fact, clearly modelled on the gothic novels that were popular in the early nineteenth century, a literary genre that had already been used for anti-Catholic sentiments in works such as Matthew Lewis's The Monk. It contains the genre-defining elements of a young, innocent woman being trapped in a remote, old, and gloomily picturesque estate; she learns the dark secrets the place contain ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Carmilla - Bram Stoker's Dracula Although Carmilla is a lesser known and far shorter Gothic vampire story than the generally-considered master work of that genre, Dracula, the latter is heavily and directly based upon Le Fanu's short story. Harry Ludlam has said that Dracula is "the product of [Stoker's] own vivid imagination and imaginative research", it is clear that Stoker was heavily inspired by Carmilla and based his novel upon this.
In the earliest manuscript of Dracula, dated 8 March, 1890, the castle is set in Styria, but the setting was ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Raymond Chandler - Short Stories Chandler's short stories typically chronicled the adventures of Philip Marlowe or other down-on-their luck private detectives (John Dalmas, Steve Grayce) or similarly inclined good samaritans (such as Mr. Carmady). Exceptions are the macabre "The Bronze Door" and "English Summer", a self-described Gothic romance set in the English countryside. Interestingly, in the 1950s radio series "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe", which included adaptations from the stories, other protagonists were exchanged for Marlowe (for example, Marlowe for Steve G ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Gothic metal - Gothic doom Gothic-doom (also sometimes called Goth Metal due to its gothic rock influence) is best described as a subgenre of both doom metal and gothic metal. Throughout its existence, gothic doom has combined aspects of both doom metal and gothic metal in varying quantities, and the often melding of two aspects together.
Early bands in the subgenre used varying quantities and aspects of doom metal with aspects of gothic metal, taking heavily influence from doom-death bands. The music often used one element from gothic metal, with an element of doom metal, ie: The lyrical theme and instrumental usage of gothic metal, wi ...

More recently the small press has continued to keep Machen's work in print.
Literary critics see Machen’s works as a significant part of the late Victorian revival of the gothic novel and the decadent movement of the 1890s bearing direct comparison to the themes found in contemporary works like Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Bram St ...

Gothic metal - Origins 1983-1993.
The earliest stage of gothic metal can be traced to bands in the 1980s, who utilized the dark aethetics of gothic rock with aspects of composition akin to doom metal. Bands of this type are credited mainly for their later influence on the subgenres, doom-death and gothic-doom. Although Glenn Danzig's Samhain made some attribution to this manner of composition, Death rock band Christian Death are regarded by some as the most influential to the founding of the subgenre. The deep vo ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Gothic metal - Common misconceptions Although the style has seen much more controversy than other metal genres - and remarkably, the most instances of debate - some arguments have gone on in regards to bands that have sported a gothic "image" in the eyes of the media versus those with direct musical connections to the gothic metal genre. This has included bands that have shown imagery akin to morbidity, religious themes, gothic fashion, vampirism, and satanism and bands that ...

Gothic Revival architecture - Survival and revival.
Gothic architecture did not die out completely in the 15th century but lingered on, solely in some on-going cathedral-building projects and for churches in increasingly isolated rural districts of England, France, Spain and Germany. In Bologna, in 1646, the Baroque architect Carlo Rainaldi constructed Gothic vaults (completed 1658) for the Basilica of San Petronio which had been building since 1390; there the Gothic context of the structure overrode consideratio ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Gothic metal - Other gothic metal fusions Other fusions of gothic metal similar to gothic doom have also started to become more noticeable. This has often been noticed by bands within the black metal, death metal and symphonic metal genres that have started using elements of gothic metal in the bands music.
Within death metal and black metal this has included the non-defining use of dual vocalists, sub-romantic themes and the writing of concept albums mixed with the traditional sound of the genre. These genre fusions include bands such as Dark Lunacy, C ...
