The Rise of Supernatural Fiction, 1762-1800 (Cambridge Studies in Romanticism) Book
A genre of supernatural fiction was among the more improbable products of the Age of Enlightenment. This book questions the historical reasons for its growing popularity in the late eighteenth century.

G. Lewis, and others, in unexpected new lights, drawing out the connection between fictions of the supernatural and the growth of consumerism.Read More
