Abstract

This study considers how British literature from the late-Victorian era to the 1930s draws upon Gothic and supernatural narrative and imagery in its representations of place, whether metropolitan, suburban or rural; it argues that this period of dramatic socio-cultural change is shadowed by a corresponding evolution in Gothic literary representation.

" The late-Victorian era has been extensively researched as a period of Gothic literature, and this study seeks to build upon this body of work by connecting the content of such studies to the early decades of the twentieth century, which are less often seen in terms of Gothic or supernatural literature. Beginning with the quintessentially urban Gothic space of fin de siècle London, as represented in classic texts such as Dracula and Arthur Machen's The Great God Pan, the study proceeds to ask how the themes and energies which emerge in this moment evolve throughout the early twentieth century. In the ghost stories of authors like M.R. James, the Edwardian era witnesses an uncanny return to the rural English landscape, in which modernity encounters the re-emergence of suppressed fears and forces. After World War One, London again experiences a renewal of Gothic themes, with figures such as D.H. Lawrence and T.S. Eliot representing the city as a stricken and desolate space, haunted by the trauma and ghosts of the recent conflict. That legacy of violence and loss is also evident in rural representations of place in the 1920s and 1930s, along with a renewed interest in supernaturalism and paganism found in authors like Sylvia Townsend Warner and Mary Butts. Ultimately, this study argues, this period of dramatic social and cultural change is shadowed by a corresponding evolution in Gothic literary representation, whether that is expressed through modernist experimentation or more conventional narrative forms.

Abstract

Cet essai sur les origines du roman « gothique » anglais tente de cerner les phénomènes divers qui ont présidé à l'émergence de ce genre littéraire vers la fin du XVIIIe siècle en Angleterre. En examinant ses sources et en le remettant en situation, cet ouvrage entend redonner au gothique sa juste place dans l'histoire des idées, du goût et des lettres. L'étonnante vague de terreur qui déferle sur le roman anglais dans la seconde moitié du dix-huitième siècle ne se comprend que dans le contexte culturel, esthétique, philosophique, voire politique de l'époque, qui a permis la réhabilitation d'un style architectural longtemps méprisé. Ces références architecturales ont influencé les romanciers gothiques au même titre que la redécouverte de monuments du passé littéraire tels que Shakespeare, ou la lecture des poètes des premières décennies du XVIIIe siècle, aux vers empreints d'une profonde mélancolie engendrée par la méditation nocturne sur les tombes ou devant les ruines d'édifices jadis prestigieux. La mélancolie est bien la caractéristique d'une époque troublée où violence et sensibilité se côtoient. Le malaise ambiant va se révéler propice à la naissance puis au développement du fantastique. Plaisir étrange, plaisir de l'étrange, né des délices suspectes qu'engendrent la terreur et l'horreur.
