American Gothic literature inherited many time-worn tropes from its English Gothic precursor, along with a core preoccupation: anxiety about power and property. The aristocratic villain is replaced by the striving, independent young man. The dispossession of Native Americans and African Americans add urgency to traditional Gothic anxieties about possession.

Il s'agit moins ici d'analyser le canon gothique à proprement parler que de s'interroger sur le retour de motifs clés au dix-neuvième et au vingtième siècles et d'étudier le fonctionnement de certains mode/codes d'écriture et de lecture. Ces reprises, ces retours fantasmatiques ou ces décors inquiétants semblent à priori relever du simulacre, du factice. Mais le gothique - parfois sous la forme de simple détail, de clin d'oeil parodique ou non - ne permet-il pas un basculement, un déplacement, un décalage de la production à la production du sens?
