The third volume of Gothic Print Culture, 1789-1900 reprints short Gothic fiction published in miscellaneous magazines. In doing so, it places Gothic fiction in direct conversation with the editorials, the advice columns, the travel accounts and the social and political commentaries that these magazines featured. These magazines also highlight the Gothic’s own miscellaneous nature, its tendency to incorporate poems, songs, translations, travel narratives and antiquarian materials. Early in the century, Gothic fiction was published primarily in women’s magazines such as The Lady’s Magazine and La Belle Assemblée. This shifted in the mid-century magazine. Gothic fiction by Samuel Ferguson and George Augustus Sala engages with the scientific content of Blackwood’s and the social commentary of Household Words, while Irish Gothic fiction by Sheridan Le Fanu and James Mangan appeared alongside the antiquarian and political features of the Dublin University Magazine. This volume finds parallels between the history of the magazine and the history of the Gothic and, in doing so, links the Gothic in new ways to biography, translation, fashion, history and politics.
