Dive into the eerie depths of Victorian and Edwardian literature as we unravel the mysteries of haunted houses, exploring their symbolism, impact, and timeless allure.
You always seem to scratch my Victorian literature itch! Honestly, I've been slowly writing a novel currently titled Ghost Story 2024, the influence of Victorian haunted house stories being strong. Your analysis is insightful. Thank you for the work you do studying the work. I really appreciate your posts for furthering my understanding on the genre
That's great to hear, all the best with your novel 👍🏼 Haunted houses and ghost stories were really popular in the 1800s and those stories are still influencing writers! It's good to know that these posts are helpfull too
Very interesting history of a great trope in Horror, the haunted house is a great setting for any horror story and arguably I'd say that Dracula (the novel) also touches on it with Dracula's castle to an extent. Though it is not a literal case in point, dunno what you think of that thought but this was a great essay!
