| | | Article Name : | | | The Divine Comedy in the Early Gothic Novels: A study case | | Author Name : | | | Maria Teresa Marnieri | | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | The early Gothic novels contributed to original literary iconographies, which were universally acclaimed for their creativity but also frequently rejected for their exaggerations. The early Gothic is the result of the cultural crossover of literary influences from different authors and epochs. This study looks at the controversial and ambiguous novels Vathek by William Beckford (1786) and The Monk by Matthew Gregory Lewis (1796) as examples of rich cultural substrata. The texts are complex and merge multiple sources and influences, creating a pastiche effect inherited from the first Gothic tale, Horace Walpole | | Keywords : | | | Eighteenth-Century Literature, English Literature, Early Gothic Novels, Dante, Divine Comedy, William Beckford, Matthew Lewis |
