Bag om The Gothic Quest - A History of the Gothic Novel

¿The Gothic Quest - A History of the Gothic Novel¿ is a 1938 treatise by Montague Summers on the subject of the Gothic novel, looking at its origins, evolution, and role in contemporary literature. Augustus Montague Summers (1880 ¿ 1948) was an English clergyman and author most famous for his studies on vampires, witches and werewolves¿all of which he believed to be very much real. He also wrote the first English translation of the infamous 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the ¿Malleus Maleficarum¿, in 1928. Contents include: ¿The Romantic Feeling¿, ¿Notes to Chapter I¿, ¿The Publishers and the Circulating Libraries¿, ¿Notes to Chapter II¿, ¿Influences from Abroad¿, ¿Notes to Chapter III¿, ¿Historical Gothic¿, ¿Notes to Chapters IV¿, ¿Matthew Gregory Lewis¿, etc. Other notable works by this author include: ¿A Popular History of Witchcraft¿ (1937), ¿Witchcraft and Black Magic¿ (1946), and ¿The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism¿ (1947). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
