Ghosts, reanimated bodies, monsters, fragmented manuscripts and haunted spaces fill the works of Romantic poets and novelists alike. This module explores the Romantics' interest in the macabre by placing it in the context of anxieties about the French Revolution, religion, sexuality, race and nation, as well as developments in late eighteenth-century print and book production. The module includes a scheduled visit to Martyrs Kirk Library to view a selection of Gothic rare books. (Group C)
