| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The book explores the origin and growth of "gothic novel" in the 18th century. It describes this genre of fiction as an extension of romantic literary pleasures offered by its unique features like mystery, the supernatural, ghosts, haunted houses, and Gothic architecture, castles, darkness, death, decay, doubles, madness, secrets and hereditary curses. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added.
