Nordic Terrors: Scandinavian Superstition in British Gothic Literature (Anthem Studies in Gothic Literature, 1, Band 1) - Softcover
Buch 9 von 13: Anthem Studies in Gothic Literature
Inhaltsangabe
In late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British literature, Scandinavia emerged as a setting for Gothic terror. This book explores the extensive use of Nordic superstition as it provided a vocabulary for Gothic texts, examining the cultural significance these references held for writers exploring Britain's northern heritage. In Gothic publications, Nordic superstition sometimes parallels the representations of Catholicism, allowing writers to gloat at its phantasms and delusions. Thus, runic spells, incantations, and necromantic communications (of which Norse tradition afforded many examples) could replace practices usually assigned to Catholic superstition. Yet Nordic lore did more than merely supplant hackneyed Gothic formulas; it presented readers with an alternative conception of 'Otherness'. Nordic texts-chiefly based on the Edda and the supernatural Scandinavian ballad tradition-were seen as pre-Christian beliefs of the Gothic (i.e., Germanic) peoples, including the Anglo-Saxons. The book traces the development of this Nordic Gothic, situating it within wider literary, historical, political, and cultural contexts.

Nordic Terrors (Paperback)
Anbieter: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British literature, Scandinavia emerged as a place where Gothic terror took place. This book explores the extensive use of Nordic superstition in providing a vocabulary for Gothic texts as well as the cultural significance it had for writers attempting to understand Britains northern roots. In Gothic publications, Nordic superstition sometimes parallels the representations of Catholicism, allowing writers to gloat at its phantasms and delusions. Thus, the casting of runes, runic spells and incantations, and necromantic communications (of which Norse tradition afforded many examples) could replace practices usually assigned to Catholic superstition. On terms of its cultural importance, however, Nordic lore did more than just fill in for hackneyed Gothic formulas. It is a key argument in the book that Nordic superstition presented less of an abject 'Other'. Nordic texts (primarily excerpts from the Edda and supernatural Scandinavian ballads) were seen as examples of the pre-Christian beliefs of what was known as the 'Gothic' (i.e., Germanic) peoples, which included the Anglo-Saxons. The book will trace the development of what can be called 'Gothic Gothicism' and situate this mode of writing in its wider literary, historical, political, and cultural contexts. In late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British literature, Scandinavia emerged as a setting for Gothic terror. This book explores the extensive use of Nordic superstition as it provided a vocabulary for Gothic texts, examining the cultural significance these references held for writers exploring Britains northern heritage.
