Bridget M. Marshall, "Industrial Gothic: Workers, Exploitation and Urbanization in Transatlantic Nineteenth-Century Literature "
English | ISBN: 1786837706 | 2021 | 288 pages | PDF | 8 MB

An archival literary study positing the Industrial Revolution as a site of Gothic excess and horror.

Stories about the real horrors of factory life frequently employed the mode of the Gothic, while nineteenth-century Gothic literature began to use new settings—factories, mills, and industrial cities—as backdrops for the horrors that once populated Gothic castles. This study carves out the “Industrial Gothic” as a new area of study that places the literature of the Industrial Revolution in dialogue with the Gothic.
