While nationalism influences these works, they are a melting pot of ideas and styles from both nations. Consequently, the only way to truly understand the Gothic tradition in British literature is to understand that tradition in French literature and vice-versa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Vampire Grooms and Spectre Brides, Tyler R. Tichelaar, PhD, argues there is, in fact, no such thing as French Gothic or British Gothic literature, or even British or French literature during the nineteenth century. Works like The Count of Monte Cristo, Dracula, A Tale of Two Cities, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame can be better understood when placed within the context of the blended tradition since novels in both languages and in translation continually crisscrossed the English Channel, only to return in new iterations throughout the century. From John Polidori to Paul F騅al and Bram Stoker, and from Mrs. Radcliffe to Eug鈩e Sue and Charles Dickens, the Gothic produced some of the strangest, most fascinating, and most significant novels ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn bringing together these works, some only recently translated or not fully translated at all, Vampire Grooms and Spectre Brides provides a missing context that will help redefine Gothic literature for future generations and serve as a blood transfusion to some works long thought dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBritish and French authors discussed include: Sade * Radcliffe * Lewis * Scott * Polidori * B駻ard * Nodier * Hugo * Ainsworth * Quinet * Sue * F騅al * Reynolds * Dumas * Bulwer-Lytton * Dickens * Nizet * Verne * Stoker * and many more!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tyler R.
