Description

Explore the deep connections between literature and the legal system in The Transatlantic Gothic Novel and the Law, 1790-1860. Published by Routledge, this work by Bridget M. Marshall examines how gothic fiction serves as a medium for expressing anxieties regarding justice and the Anglo-American legal framework. Through a detailed analysis of authors such as William Godwin, Mary Shelley, Charles Brockden Brown, and Hannah Crafts, this book investigates how novelists used criminal and judicial procedures to question the foundations of law. Marshall looks at how legal forms and found documents function as essential plot devices that drive gothic narratives. Readers will gain insight into how gothic villains, ranging from Walpole's Manfred to Stoker's Dracula, manipulate legal structures for their own ends. This study provides a necessary look at how the gothic genre reflected the social and legal tensions of the era on both sides of the Atlantic.
