Description
A genre-bending look into the tropes of Gothic literature.
In print for the first time since 1796, The Foresters by Elizabeth Gunning offers an entertaining romp through the many tropes of Gothic literature. She employs these devices to create a compelling story combining the wildest elements of fiction with her own personal history and experiences within eighteenth-century society, producing both a social document and an entertaining read.
