I love this deeper dive into gothic lit. I’m not a huge reader of it, but I like the subversion the gothic story provides to the environment of the time. I also wonder if there’s other social aspects underlying the incest trope in gothic lit. A comment on the “royal bloodline” perhaps and the propensity for incest there. Makes me want to dig into it more!
