Synopsis
Royce Mahawatte critically compares the frightening, startling and melodramatic moments in George Eliot's fiction with excerpts from Gothic and sensation novels and in doing so argues that suspenseful plotting, and Gothic figures and tropes, play a role within Eliot's ambitions for the Victorian novel.

Newspapers & Magazines
In this highly engaging book, Royce Mahawatte takes on the great icon of Victorian literary realism, George Eliot, and presents a nuanced and compelling argument for reading her work alongside Gothic fiction. By teasing out the complex and contradictory relationship Eliot had with the Gothic novel, Mahawatte not only offers a fresh take on Eliot's work, but also greatly expands our understanding of the part Gothic played in Victorian literary culture.
