In it I offer a concise checklist of gothic elements to look for in literature; a gothic bingo, if you will. I did post about it on Wednesday, along with an old photo of the ever glorious Tintern Abbey. Today I'm offering another flashback - a close up of an unexpected cathedral discovered* in Bourges, France, and a reminder to those of you who missed it that you can find The Seven Gothic Signs on the blog; 🔗: link in bio. I would love to know if you find it useful, and if it has led to the reclassification of any recent or favourite reads. 🕷 *Okay, fine, I did not actually discover this cathedral... I'm pretty sure everyone else knew it was there. . #gothicnovel #gothicfiction #gothicdefinition #literaryterms #englishliterature #bookish #bookstagram #books #cathedral #church #gothiccathedral #bookworm #classicliterature #literarycriticism #generallygothic #literarytheory #readalong #gothic #spookynerd #gothicnovel #darkacademia #studygram #academic #bookblogger #tinternabbey #gothicarchitecture #clivebloom #bourges #france #bourgescathedral https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmQ9o2g11j/?igshid=emqoefdk5d2h

It has been high time I took a direct stab at answering the most commonly asked generally gothic question for longer than I care to admit. Today, I've done it last; I have attempted to concisely explain what the gothic is. Whilst in essence the Generally Gothic project is an on-going attempt at defining the gothic, you may be pleased to know that there are some reoccurring elements present in many (particularly the early classic) gothic novels. There are 7 to be precise, and they should help you in identifying and better understanding the gothic. So take a look at The Seven Gothic Signs and, with your new found expertise, share your favourite gothic read, an unexpected place you found the gothic, or a text you're still sure is gothic even though it doesn't 'fit'. 🔗: Link in bio. . #gothicnovel #gothicfiction #gothicdefinition #literaryterms #englishliterature #horror #classichorror #bookish #bookstagram #books #jekyllandhyde #frankenstein #maryshelley #stevenson #bookworm #classicliterature #generallygothicbookclub #generallygothic #bookclub #readalong #gothic #spookynerd #gothicnovel #darkacademia #studygram #academic #bookblogger #tinternabbey #gothicarchitecture https://www.instagram.com/p/CDg5hOOAo31/?igshid=1knd2gnxolhvz
