总结:1.提到各家关于哥特文学流行原因的推测
2.引用各个评论家对于该流行的点评
3.作者对这些点评展开了点评,认为这些评论很激进,不客观。
讨论1790s的哥特潮
涉及人物:
-Sade: 认为哥特潮起因为法国大革命时期带来的社会恐惧,导致了当时社会对于恐惧的想象。
-William Hazlitt: 与sade比较,Balanced way of putting matters(作者评价)
-Radcliffe:whose romance derived part of their interest, no doubt, from the supposed tottering state of all old structures at the time (作者评价)
-Anna: Gothic terror derived from the cult of the sublime
作者观点:
-Equating the Gothic with the French Revolution was a contemporary, rather than a retrospective phenomenon
-The recourse to the sublime adopted by Radcliffe and her school was partly a desire to exploit contemporary aesthetic fashions and partly an attempt to pitch their work toward the high end of the literary market, for sublimity and terror were associated with tragedy and epic
作者评价:
One needs to be careful about overstating the case by
-accusing authors of being social incendiaries
-smearing "terror" writers
