, EDITORS' NOTES
Deeper than you think
Gothic literature: immediately you think of it as the spooky and supernatural sister of Romantic literature;
the one featuring castles that are not gilded with golden sunshine and chivalrous knights in armour, but
crumbling fortresses infested with bandits, covered in murky shadows, and cruel men pursuing innocent
damsels in distress.
But this dark and gloomy picture is what you and many others commonly misconceive of Gothic literature.
Is this genre really as morbid and scary as it sounds? Is there a difference between horror and Gothic; and
why did authors decide to invent Gothic literature? Read on to find out the good-hearted intentions, original
themes, and the true purpose behind this famous, fascinating genre.
P.S. Throughout this magazine you will see underscored words and phrases. Click on them - they'll take you
to an external link where you can learn more about the subject! Enjoy.
