Gothic Terrors: Incaceration, Duplication, and Bloodlust in Spanish Narrative

The fear of madness, the fear that the boundaries of the self may not be clear cut, and an obsession with blood and violence are the province of the Gothic mode, says Six (Spanish, U. of London). She addresses each in turn, revealing its treatment in three Spanish texts, one from the late 19th century, another from the first half of the 20th century, and the third from the 21st century.
