Focusing on the intersection of Gothic literature and psychoanalysis, this book historicizes psychoanalysis by examining how nineteenth-century Gothic works critique notions of sublimity and Freudian theory. It highlights the contributions of key authors like Mary Shelley, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Bram Stoker, illustrating how their writings challenged prevailing ideas of their time. This significant theorization enhances the understanding of both the Gothic genre and the cultural context of the nineteenth century.
