As the bicentennial of the publication of the early Gothic’s masterpiece, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, 2018 is an ideal time to reconsider how we understand the aesthetic qualities, ideological underpinnings, historical development, and cultural work of Gothic literature. Derided as juvenile or worse through most of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Gothic has enjoyed a resurgence in interest among scholars in recent decades—and of course, it has never lost the interest of popular audiences. This panel seeks papers from scholars of literature, history, art history, religion, science and technology studies, and other fields which break new ground in the study of the Gothic, a genre that is at once instantly recognizable and yet elusive of easy definition. Papers that seek to bridge the gap—or to thoughtfully chart out the terrain of the gap—between scholarship on early Gothic literature and scholarship on the Gothic in contemporary popular culture are particularly welcome.
Please send abstracts of 350 words to GCarnes@lindenwood.edu by September 15, 2017.
