In the 1790s, Crawford argues, four inter-connected bodies of writing arose in Britain: the historical mythology of the French Revolution, the political rhetoric of 'terrorism', the genre ofpolitical conspiracy theory, and the literary genre of Gothic fiction, known atthe time as 'terrorist novel writing'. All four bodies of writing drew heavily upon one another, in order to articulate their shared sense of the radical and monstrous otherness of the extremes of human evil, a sense which was quite newto the eighteenth century, but has remained central to the ways in which wehave thought and written about evil and violence ever since"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Gothic fiction (Literary genre), English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Fear in literature. 650 0 $a Other (Philosophy) in literature. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635. 941 $a 5 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718091550.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044528.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180112063111.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826090846.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331011350.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=006E8E00F70611E582760BA0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
