A Gothic timeline & associated PowerPoints

A detailed PowerPoint that gives an overview of Gothic literature broken into sections:

1. Early Gothic
2. Gothic and Romantics
3. Victorian Gothic
4. American Gothic (Poe)
5. Fin de siecle Gothic
6. Modernism and early 20th century
7. Southern Gothic

There are separate PowerPoints that are linked to the Gothic timeline on:

• Female Gothic (Ann Radcliffe)
• Sensation novels
• Byronic hero
• Atavism
• Drugs (opium references in* The Picture of Dorian Gray*)

This resource was designed to help students understand the development of Gothic literature by breaking it down into historical periods and/or regional variations. For each slide there are usually hyperlinks to articles or podcasts (for example, several from Words to that Effect) but also links to other PowerPoints that I have created for more in-depth focus on, for example, the Byronic hero. It works as a self-study revision guide, or as a classroom resource to give an historical overview over a number of lessons diving into details as required.

N.B. the hyperlinks to the PwerPonts I have created will need to be amended they link to my college Drive account, and will need to be** re-directed** to wherever you put the documents by right-clicking on the hyperlink and choosing Edit hyperlink
