Description

This scholarly work by Bridget M. Marshall examines how legal themes permeate the gothic novel across the Atlantic, revealing deep anxieties about justice and the rule of law. Marshall traces the literary strategies employed by major authors including William Godwin, Mary Shelley, Charles Brockden Brown, and Hannah Crafts, who interrogate the foundations of the Anglo-American justice system through their narratives. The study demonstrates how gothic novelists weaponised legal procedures, criminal frameworks, and judicial forms as central plot devices, whilst their villains-from Walpole's Manfred to Godwin's Tyrrell to Stoker's Dracula-manipulate the law itself to consolidate power. By analysing the intersection of gothic fiction and legal discourse between 1790 and 1860, this volume offers critical insight into how literature both reflected and shaped contemporary debates about institutional authority, moral accountability, and the limits of legal systems on both sides of the Atlantic.
