In the nineteenth century, Cornwall was seen as a foreign nation on England’s doorstep and imagined as a haunted place, full of ghosts, ghouls, monsters, and legends. This book explores how Gothic authors drew on this to create a Cornish Gothic tradition.
A literary history of Cornwall in the Victorian imagination.
What comes to mind when we think of Cornwall? Wild coastlines, golden beaches, sooty miners, and Cornish pasties, perhaps. In the nineteenth century, however, it was considered a frightening and threatening space. This book details the discovery of Cornwall in the popular imagination as the Victorians expanded the rail network and how Cornwall was seen as both a foreign nation on Englands doorstep and as a haunted place, full of ghosts, ghouls, monsters, and legends. Proposing a distinctly Cornish Gothic tradition, Joan Passeys study offers major new readings of writers such as Alfred Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, Wilkie Collins, and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and introduces many Cornish writers to a broader readership.
