This page intentionally left blank This is the first full-length study to examine the links between high Romantic literature and what has often been thought of as a merely popular genre – the Gothic Michael Gamer offers a sharply focused analysis of how and why Romantic writers drew on Gothic conventions whilst, at the same time, denying their influence in order to claim critical respectability He shows how the reception of Gothic writing, including its institutional and commercial recognition as a form of literature, played a fundamental role in the development of Romanticism as an ideology In doing so he examines the early history of the Romantic movement and its assumptions about literary value, and the politics of reading, writing, and reception at the end of the eighteenth century As a whole the book makes an original contribution to our understanding of genre, tracing the impact of reception, marketing, and audience on its formation is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania He has published a number of articles and is currently editing an edition of The Castle of Otranto and, with Jeffrey N Cox, Romantic Drama: An Anthology MMM ROMANTICISM AND THE GOTHIC General editors Professor Marilyn Butler University of Oxford Professor James Chandler University of Chicago Editorial board John Barrell, University of York Paul Hamilton, University of London Mary Jacobus, Cornell University Kenneth Johnston, Indiana University Alan Liu, University of California, Santa Barbara Jerome McGann, University of Virginia David Simpson, University of California, Davis This series aims to foster the best new work in one of the most challenging fields within English literary studies From the early s to the early s a formidable array of talented men and women took to literary composition, not just in poetry, which some of them famously transformed, but in many modes of writing The expansion of publishing created new opportunities for writers, and the political stakes of what they wrote were raised again by what Wordsworth called those ‘great national events’ that were ‘almost daily taking place’: the French Revolution, the Napoleonic and American wars, urbanization, industrialization, religious revival, an expanded empire abroad, and the reform movement at home This was an enormous ambition, even when it pretended otherwise The relations between science, philosophy, religion, and literature were reworked in texts such as Frankenstein and Biographia Literaria; gender relations in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Don Juan; journalism by Cobbett and Hazlitt; poetic form, content, and style by the Lake School and the Cockney School Outside Shakespeare studies, probably no body of writing has produced such a wealth of response or done so much to shape the responses of modern criticism This indeed is the period that saw the emergence of those notions of ‘literature’ and of literary history, especially national literary history, on which modern scholarship in English has been founded The categories produced by Romanticism have also been challenged by recent historicist arguments The task of the series is to engage both with a challenging corpus of Romantic writings and with the changing field of criticism they have helped to shape As with other literary series published by Cambridge, this one will represent the work of both younger and more established scholars, on either side of the Atlantic and elsewhere For a complete list of titles published see end of book ROMANTICISM AND THE GOTHIC Genre, Reception, and Canon Formation MICHAEL GAMER The Pitt Building, Trumpington Street, Cambridge, United Kingdom The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge CB2 2RU, UK 40 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211, USA 477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia Ruiz de Alarcón 13, 28014 Madrid, Spain Dock House, The Waterfront, Cape Town 8001, South Africa http://www.cambridge.org © Michael Gamer 2004 First published in printed format 2000 ISBN 0-511-03463-6 eBook (Adobe Reader) ISBN 0-521-77328-8 hardback This book is for Elise, Langdon, Marlon, and Nancy Women we have often eagerly placed near the throne of literature: if they seize it, forgetful of our fondness, we can hurl them from it Critical Review, nd series, (), Cultural categories of high and low, social and aesthetic are never entirely separable Peter Stallybrass and Allon White, The Politics and Poetics of Transgression (), Notes to pages – This argument is made by several writers at the turn of the nineteenth century The best-known of these critiques of history are William Godwin’s ‘‘History and Romance’’ (), ed Michael Gamer, at http://www.english.upenn.edu/mgamer/godwin.history.html, and the Preface to Maria Edgeworth’s Castle Rackrent () Hurd, Letters on Chivalry and Romance, – Richard Hurd, Dissertation on the Idea of Universal Poetry (London: A Millar, ) Quoted in Ioan Williams, Novel and Romance, – Janowitz, England’s Ruins, Janowitz, England’s Ruins, SPW, All further references to Scott’s prefaces and notes will be cited by page number;

– and though some bards have always been before their age, and some behind it, the greater part must be pretty nearly on its level Present popularity, whatever disappointed writers may say, is, after all, the only safe passage of future glory;
