This website was dedicated to British Gothic drama and its various manifestations between 1768 - the year of composition of the first Gothic tragedy, Horace Walpole's The Mysterious Mother- and the later, pre-Victorian, culture of the 1820s and 30s. The materials made available here range from critical bibliographies to links to internet resources and teaching and study aids, and are offered as a starting-point for all those readers who wish to explore Gothic drama and theatre in order to rediscover a cultural phenomenon which, although now relatively unfamiliar to contemporary readers, was as notorious, shocking and frightening as the better-known Gothic romance. This website is no longer updated.
