Full Description
This volume centers on gothic literature in chapbooks and bluebooks. Chapbooks and bluebooks capitalized on the popularity of gothic novels by publishing much shorter and cheaper pamphlets. Many bluebooks were abbreviated or adapted versions of popular novels, while others were composed specifically for this format. Both the adaptations and original compositions constitute a reworking and extension of the gothic to an even broader audience. This volume will provides select images of these texts and their copious illustrations, which have rarely been reprinted and are extremely rare because of their popularity and ephemerality. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this title will be of great interest to students of literature.
