Annotation: To better understand and contextualise the twilight of the Gothic genre during the 1920s and 1830s, "The History of Gothic Publishing, 1800-1835: Exhuming the Trade" examines the disreputable aspects of the Gothic trade from its horrid bluebooks to the desperate hack writers who created the short tales of terror. From the Gothic publishers to the circulating libraries, this study explores the conflict between the canon and the twilight, and between the disreputable and the moral.
