Description

Horror in the Age of Steam explores how Victorian literature grappled with the anxieties of rapid industrial and social transformation under Queen Victoria's reign. As England experienced unprecedented economic progress, industrial innovation, and scientific discovery, Victorian writers turned to horror and gothic narratives to process the destabilisation these changes created. This scholarly work examines how Britons redefined concepts of work, belief, and national identity through the lens of terror fiction, revealing how gothic tales became a cultural response to the fear of change itself. The book analyses the interplay between technological advancement and psychological dread, demonstrating how horror narratives served as a mirror to Victorian society's deepest concerns about modernity, progress, and cultural upheaval during this transformative era.
