This essay is the third installment in the Reader's Companion collection and it is a brief analysis of the Gothic genre in British literature from its origins in the middle of the 18th century to the ghost stories and horror tales of the following Victorian era that shared much of the DNA with their predecessors. We will end this voyage into this fascinating topic with a case study of Oscar Wilde's magnum opus, The Portrait of Dorian Gray - (Revised, August 2025).
