N2  - Gothic literature encompasses a broad category of writings, including poetry and the short story. Its most popular and actuated form, however, is the "horror" novel. Its origin is conveniently traced to Horace Walpole's Castle of Otranto in 1764, which mixes up the melodramatic and the supernatural elements. Graveyard poets, who worked up intense images and metaphors, interposed with vast landscapes, dark forests, haunted ruins, eerie rooms, monasteries, and solitary characters with melancholic fits inspired Gothic novels. Disturbing dreams, undying love, and romantic melancholia of death were among the most common themes. --From the introduction
