Catholicism in Gothic Fiction is a comprehensive study of the use of Catholic materials in Gothic fiction in England from 1762 to 1820. The book explores the nature and function of Catholicism in these works, analyzing how it was used to create a sense of terror and suspense. The author, Mary Muriel Tarr, delves into the historical and cultural context of the period, examining the religious tensions that existed between Catholics and Protestants in England. Through a close reading of key Gothic novels, such as The Monk by Matthew Lewis and The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe, Tarr demonstrates how Catholicism was used as a tool to explore themes of sin, guilt, and redemption. The book also examines the role of Catholicism in shaping the Gothic genre itself, arguing that it was a key factor in the development of this popular literary form. Overall, Catholicism in Gothic Fiction is an insightful and thought-provoking study that sheds new light on the relationship between religion and literature in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
