| ARTICLES RELATED TO Gothic novel | | | | |  Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Goth - MusicSince the late 1970s, the number of gothic or death rock bands were limited in number, and included bands such as Bauhaus, Specimen, The Birthday Party, Southern Death Cult, and Sex Gang Children. Many people credit Bauhaus' first single "Bela Lugosi's Dead", about the Hungarian actor who was famous for Dracula, with the start of the Gothic movement, although it's probably more accurate to credit this to earlier bands like Gloria Mundi, UK Decay, or a young Adam & The Ants. By the mid-eighties, these bands began proliferating, inc ...

| | | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - La Comédie humaine - Sources of the Comédie humaine Because of its volume and complexity, the "Comédie humaine" touches on the major literary genres in fashion in the first half of the 19th century.
La Comédie humaine - Balzac and the historical novel.
The historical novel was a European phenomenon in the first half of the 19th century -- largely through the works of Walter Scott, James Fenimore Cooper and, in France, Alexandre Dumas and Victor Hugo. Balzac's first novel "Les Chouans" was inspired by this vogue and tells of the rural inhabitants of Brittany during t ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Deathrock fashion - Deathrock Hairstyles Deathrocker hairstyles have a decidedly '80s big hair or punk influence. Betty Page style bangs, oftentimes coming to a point in the middle of the forehead, are very popular for females, especially when combined with a shoulder length or chin length bob. Short and spikey hair (especially when bleached or dyed) is popular with both sexes. Deathrockers who do not keep their natural hair color either bleach their hair to platinum blonde or near white; or use Manic Panic or another semi-permanent hair color to produce vibrant reds, blues, greens, purples, etc. hair ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Middle Ages in history - Romantics Main article: Romanticism
The "uncouth times that one calls the Middle Ages" (Voltaire) was followed by a revolutionary change in perspective, a change which still exists in large part to this day, and of which we are still the direct heirs. During the later 18th and 19th century the movement known as Romanticism began. One of its practitioners, poet Heinrich Heine, defined Romanticism as "nothing but the reawakening of the poetry of the Middle Ages, as it manifested itself in songs, pictures and works of art, in art and life." ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Charles Dickens - Literary style Dickens' writing style is florid and poetic, with a strong comic touch. His satires of British aristocratic snobbery — he calls one character the "Noble Refrigerator" — are wickedly funny. Comparing orphans to stocks and shares, people to tug boats, or dinner party guests to furniture are just some of Dickens’ flights of fancy which can sum up situations better than any simple description could.
The characters are among the most memorable in English literature, certainly their names are. The likes of Ebenezer Scrooge, Fagin, Mrs ...

| | | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Wandering Jew - The Wandering Jew in literature The figure of the doomed sinner, forced to wander without the hope of rest in death till the millennium, impressed itself upon the popular imagination, mainly with reference to the seeming immortality of the wandering Jewish people. These two aspects of the legend are represented in the different names given to the central figure. In German-speaking countries he is referred to as "Der Ewige Jude" (the immortal, or eternal, Jew), while in Romance-speaking countries he is known as "Le Juif Errant" and "L'Ebreo Errante"; the English form, probably because derived from the French, has followed the Romance. The Spani ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Carmilla - Influence Carmilla, the title character, is the original prototype for a legion of female (and often lesbian) vampires. Though Le Fanu portrays his vampire's sexuality with the circumspection that one would expect for his time, the reader can be pretty sure that lesbian attraction is the main dynamic between Carmilla and the narrator of the story. Carmilla selected exclusively female victims, though only became emotionally involved with a few. Carmilla had nocturnal habits, but was not confined to the darkness. She had unearthly beauty and was able to ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Irish fiction - The 19th century The 19th century was a golden age of fiction in English, and Irish writers were to participate fully. Although born in Oxford, Maria Edgeworth (1767 - 1849) spent most of her life in Ireland and wrote what is generally considered the first novel on an Irish theme, Castle Rackrent (1800). This story of landlords and tenants on an Irish estate, and of the abuse of the latter by the former, was criticised at the time for its characters' apparent lack of religious feeling or scruples, but can be seen as a reasonably accurate representation of li ...

| | | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Gormenghast - Works in the Series The cycle consists of three novels, Titus Groan (1946), Gormenghast (1950) and Titus Alone (1959). A novella, Boy in Darkness (1956), shares the setting without specific allusion.
Peake intended to write a series of books following Titus's life and his relationship with the castle. At least two other books, tentatively titled Titus Awakes and Gormenghast Revisited, were planned, but Peake's health complications and ensuing death prevented him from writing down more than a few rough chapters an ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Romance novel - Category and single title novels Romance novels are divided into two sub-sets, category romances (also called series romances) and single title romances.
Romance novel - Category romances.
The term "category romances" derives from the fact that the books are published in clearly delineated categories, with a certain number of books being published in each category every month. Their alternative name, series romances, came from the sequential numbers sometimes printed on the books' spines. Category romances are short (usually no more than 250 page ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Victorian literature - Novelists Charles Dickens exemplifies the Victorian novel better than any other writer. Extraordinarily popular in his day with his characters taking on a life of their own beyond the page, Dickens is still the most popular and read author of the time. His first real novel, The Pickwick Papers, written at only twenty-five, was an overnight success, and all his subsequent works sold extremely well. He was in effect a self made man who worked diligently and prolifically to produce exactly what the public wanted; often reacting to the public taste ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Lolita - Style and interpretation The novel is a tragicomedy narrated by Humbert, who riddles the narrative with wordplay and his wry observations of American culture. His humor provides an effective counterpoint to the pathos of the tragic plot. The novel's flamboyant style is characterized by word play, multilingual puns, anagrams, and coinages such as nymphet, a word which has since had a life of its own and can be found i ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Lolita - Afterword In 1956, Nabokov penned an afterword to Lolita ("On a Book Entitled Lolita") that was included in every subsequent edition of the book.
In the afterword, Nabokov wrote that "the initial shiver of inspiration" for Lolita "was somehow prompted by a newspaper story about an ape in the Jardin des Plantes who, after months of coaxing by a scientist, produced the first drawing ever charcoaled by an animal: this sketch showed the bars of the poor creature's cage". Neither the article nor the drawing has been discovered; however, there has been some speculation that photographs by ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Conrad of Montferrat - Conrad in fiction and film The Monferrine court was Occitan in its literary culture, and provided patronage to numerous troubadors. Bertran de Born and Peirol mention Conrad in songs composed at the time of the Third Crusade. He was seen as a heroic figure, the noble defender of Tyre - the "Marqués valens e pros" ("the valiant and worthy Marquess") as Peirol called him. However, subsequently, the long-term prejudice of popular English-language writing towards Richard I and his "Lionheart" myth has affected portrayals of Conrad in English-language ...

| | | | | Gothic novel: Encyclopedia II - Deathrock fashion - Contemporary Deathrock Fashion Modern Deathrock fashion occupies the middle ground between Punk fashion and Gothic fashion. Whereas a Punk would have a hard time blending in a Goth club, and a Goth would look out of place at a Punk concert, a Deathrocker would have relatively little trouble blending in at either venue. However, Deathrock fashion incorporates a darker, more androgynous, and far sexier look than Punk fashion; and a more tattered, pieced together and DIY look than Gothic fashion. Also, the influence of horror movies as well as a lack of BDSM fashion elements helps to differentiate Deathrock fashion from Gothic fashion.< ...
