About this listen

"Joe Giampaolo has written the most helpful and informative guide to the Gothic genre. The Reader's Companion to the Gothic Genre is written in clear and understandable language, providing the student of literature and the faithful reader of Gothic novels with a guide to understanding the genre's origin and the elements that place a novel in this genre."
~ Readers' Favorite

This essay is the third installment in the Reader's Companion collection and it is a brief analysis of the Gothic genre in British literature from its origins in the middle of the 18th century to the ghost stories and horror tales of the following Victorian era that shared much of the DNA with their predecessors. We will end this voyage into this fascinating topic with a case study of Oscar Wilde's magnum opus, The Portrait of Dorian Gray - Revised April 2025.
