Coastal Gothic, 1719–2020

Haunted shorelines, oppressively expansive beaches, and the crumbling edgelands around coastal cliffs have been a feature of the Gothic literary tradition. This Element examines the function of littoral terror, hauntings, and uncanny encounters as a means of unsettling pervasive conceptions of identity at national, regional, and individual levels.

Tarmurile bantuite, plajele intinse si apasatoare si zonele de coasta prabusite au fost o caracteristica a traditiei literare gotice. Acest element examineaza functia terorii litorale, a bantuirilor si a intalnirilor stranii ca mijloc de tulburare a conceptiilor omniprezente despre identitate la nivel national, regional si individual.
