Summary

Whilst the gothic architecture of the Houses of Parliament and the new Puginesque churches upheld a Victorian ideal of sobriety, Christianity and imperial destiny, Gothic literature filed these new spaces with a dread that spread like a plague to America, France, Germany and even Russia.

The Palgrave Handbook of Steam Age Gothic by Clive Bloom

Whilst the gothic architecture of the Houses of Parliament and the new Puginesque churches upheld a Victorian ideal of sobriety, Christianity and imperial destiny, Gothic literature filed these new spaces with a dread that spread like a plague to America, France, Germany and even Russia.

“To be honest this book is just so good that it can’t be rushedWhat I’ve read is outstanding. And what’s yet to come appears as compelling in a book full of many surprises and insights. … The Palgrave Handbook of Steam Age Gothic is for me one of the books of the year. It should be required reading for every student of the gothic.” (Alan Price, Magonia review of books, pelicanist.blogspot.com, July 22, 2021)

Clive Bloom is Emeritus Professor at Middlesex University, UK. He has written numerous books on popular literature, gothic fiction, history and politics.
