<i>George Eliot and the Gothic Novel </i>tracks George Eliot&#146;s reading of gothic and sensational literature and her responses to them in her own works. Royce Mahawatte focuses on the frightening, startling, and melodramatic elements of Eliot&#146;s fiction, placing Eliot within a culture of mid-Victorian sensationalism and highlighting the connections between her and authors like Mary Braddon, Wilkie Collins, and Edward Bulwer Lytton. Mahawatte argues that suspenseful and popular tropes play a significant role in Eliot&#146;s literary ethics and creativity and that our understanding of the author&#146;s writing needs to be broadened to include her extensive and complex engagement with the gothic tradition.
