Afterword
Keyword(s):
The book ends with a brief “Afterword,” offering examples of nineteenth-century versions of the “Gothic classicism” traced in this book, and posing the question of how Gothic literature and criticism might help us to reconceive our examinations of the presence of antiquity in contemporary life. After brief accounts of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Coliseum” and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Marble Faun, It argues that the notion of “haunting” captures the continuing presence of the classical past better than the current paradigm of “reception,” especially when we aim to analyze aspects of the ancient world with a pernicious legacy in the present.
