I appreciate how you explained the differences between horror and terror, something I’ve sensed, but not articulated. Also, I love the point that “minds are haunted, not castles.” Thank you for creating this!

thank you for watching!!! 🥰

There were also a lot of short stories in the Gothic style that helped establish the conventions. The best way to understand the Gothic movement is as a subgroup of the Romantic movement. The Romantic movement in art sought to throw off stifling formalism and social convention, in order to express emotions and spiritual feelings that had been thought unseemly. Gothic art was merely the dark side of this, expressing terror instead of rapture, dread instead of joy.

Whatever animal you have walking around kept scaring me because I thought I was hearing something walk around in my house, ha ha!

My own personal favorite variation: a book about whom would ordinarily being the villain, reflecting on their life with their lover, now deceased, as they long to be with whom they love. As a catalyst for hope and change.

Loved this video, especially the part highlighting the difference between terror and horror. It is why I am drawn to gothic fiction and female gothic horror stories.

Thank you!!! Same here. I love the terror elements in gothic stories. I don't feel the same way about horror.

This was so interesting! Great explanation bridging the gap between the time period and the genre itself.

Thanks for creating great content! Your channel inspires me to continue to work on mine.

I enjoyed hearing about Gothic Literature in this very informative video. I liked learning about the treatment of different themes in the novels. My favorite novel is Mary Shelley's epic work Frankenstein. I am now reading The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole. So far I am enjoying it. I am not taking a class in Gothic Literature, but instead I am educating myself on the genre by reading novels and watching videos like yours. Thanks for your hard work!

Thank you! I love Frankenstein too, but I did not like The Castle of Otranto. It is a bit chaotic 😅. It's hard to find a Gothic Lit course. Good for you for learning on your own!👏

This is a very well researched video. Good job!

The secrets are a colonial power…

I have to take small issue with the statement around 11:50 minutes in. Works by women for women may have been considered 'lesser' by some men (I'd argue uninteresting is a better way to put it), but men didn't suppress these stories or these authors. We just didn't talk about them because the stories they were writing, in large part, were not 'for' us. That being said, why were the male authors remembered and the women forgotten to a larger degree? I'd argue, if fault is to be found, it isn't to be found with the men who were not reading the books. It makes sense that they'd not talk much about authors writing books that were not even made for them in mind.

This video is so informative and clear. Thank you for this video.
