The Gothic and Catholicism by Maria Purves
Challenges the critical view that Gothic is a vehicle for anti-Catholic, anticlerical sentiment. This book appeals the view that the Catholic motifs contained in Gothic novels (monks, nuns, abbeys, confessionals) signify anti-Catholic prejudice and anti-Church subversiveness on the part of the author and the audience.-

The Gothic novel transports you to a strange and fascinating world quite unlike your own, far away from the calm drawing rooms of Regency EnglandIt is the ultimate escapist literature. It is this world, and its mutually beneficial relationship with Catholicism, that Dr Maria Purves so beautifully illuminates for the reader. The Tablet, May 2010
Dr Maria Purves has served as associate director of the Princeton Atelier, an arts program based at Princeton University.
