- This monograph (c.90,000 words) is the product of over six years of research. Its comparative analysis of 55 novels produced between 1990 and 2014 draws extensively on Romantic and Victorian literature to illustrate the intertextual foundations of contemporary Scottish Gothic. The book offers a redefinition of Scottish Gothic that emphasises formal rather than thematic elements, and offers a new perspective on an understudied field, including analyses of many novels that have not previously been critically examined. The book’s use of poststructuralist philosophies provides new insights into questions of literary authenticity. 94% of the material has not been previously published. 219pp.
