The Sickly Taper is the illustrious brainchild of the late Dr. Frederick S. Frank, former Professor Emeritus at Allegheny College, and Gothicist extraordinaire. The Sickly Taper is now run out of the Department of English Language, Literature, and Creative Writing at the University of Windsor under the direction of Dr. Carol Margaret Davison with the assistance of Betsy Keating, Neil Wood and Jen Ferguson. In order to ensure its ongoing role as the world's most comprehensive and authoritative online bibliography of Gothic scholarship, we ask that Gothic scholars and aficionados keep us apprised of relevant Gothic-related publications and productions. Please acquaint yourself with our indexing categories and feel free to suggest possible classifications for your scholarship. As cross-indexing can be nothing short of a Gothic nightmare in terms of its confusion and propensity to mushroom to monstrous size, please limit your suggestions to a single category.

A List of Gothic Works of Literature Read by the Canonical Romantic Writers

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 This website is no longer updated.

Ce projet co-financé par Bruxelles, auquel ont participé les Universités de Barcelone, Berlin, Erlangen, Oxford et Parme a été réalisé en 1 an ½ ( automne '99 février 2001). Il s'agit d'une recherche européenne interculturelle (littérature de France, Allemagne, Russie, cinéma, théâtre, sémiologie, histoire, sociologie) et interlinguistique (espagnol, italien, allemand, anglais, les dialectes régionaux) constitué par Andrzej Wirth (école de B. Brecht), lui même « maestro » et dramaturge, Sir F. Warner, M. E. D'Agostini, G. Dondolini, R. Pinto, R. Dittmar, T. Martius, M. Pollesch, E. Morenghi, T. Zemella, T. Zonno. La recherche a eu comme point de départ la lecture et l'analyse du drame surréaliste, ou plutôt hyperréaliste d'Ivan Goll Methusalem oder der ewige Bürger (1922) proposé comme exemple social et culturel européen de notre temps qui montre la carence et l'absence de communication dans un siècle surtout caractérisé par la communication multimédiale hyper-accélérée

Dalla convinzione che la società odierna è costituita da una miriade di sottolinguaggi, tutti con pari dignità di comunicazione, è nata l'idea a Teresina Zemella (ricercatore) e a Sandra Talone (traduttore professionista free lance) di accostare il mondo accademico e il mondo degli operatori del settore (traduttori professionisti e società di servizi di traduzione che operano sul territorio). Ciò per offrire, agli studenti dei corsi di lingue in letterature straniere moderne, l'opportunità di conoscere i problemi inerenti la professionalità da acquisire non solo nel campo dell'editoria, e delle discipline umanistiche, bensì anche in ambito finanziario, tecnico, scientifico ecc. Obiettivo: esplorare l'industria della traduzione sui versanti: accademico e aziendale, per fornire una riflessione concreta su strumenti e funzione comunicativa della traduzione.
