Highlighting the anonymous and pseudonymous authors, commercial presses and circulating libraries—such as the Minerva Press—that shaped the early Gothic more than any one author, the first half of the volume makes possible a revaluation of the collective voice of early Gothic fiction. The second half considers the increasingly sophisticated mediation and dissemination of Gothic novels. Victorian Gothics, such as James Malcom Rymer’s penny blood \u003ci\u003eThe Apparition\u003c\/i\u003e and William Harrison Ainsworth’s \u003ci\u003eWindsor Castle\u003c\/i\u003e, were published both serially and in volume form. The movement between serial publication and volume formats provides a new context for study of the Gothic novel’s reliance on inset tales and cliffhangers, which can be understood as an effect of their publication within magazines and newspapers. Finally, the transatlantic publication circuits of May Agnes Gordon’s \u003ci\u003eMidnight Queen\u003c\/i\u003e and Julien Gordon’s \u003ci\u003eVampires\u003c\/i\u003e shed new light on the Gothic and the development of international copyright law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56408921473368,"sku":"9780367649586","price":132.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/gothic-print-culture-1789-1900","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
