- Surveying recent interest in the various intersections of Shakespeare and the gothic, this chapter considers three aspects of these points of convergence. It considers the role played by Shakespeare in the early gothic of writers such as Walpole and Radcliffe, and in the course of this discussion, also considers Shakespeare’s role in mid-eighteenth-century nationalist political debates, in which the idea of a ‘gothic’ heritage developed at around the same time as Bardology: Shakespeare was appropriated as a ‘gothic’ writer anachronistically by Whig historians. The chapter then gives attention to the topic and imagery in Shakespeare’s theatre which came to fascinate later writers of the gothic, including his representation of the supernatural and ‘unnatural’, dreams, ghosts and madness. The chapter briefly concludes by considering some of the ways in which Shakespeare would be appropriated by later writers of the gothic tradition in the nineteenth century and beyond.

Tigers, Criminals, Rogues : Animality in Dickens’ Detective Fiction

- This essay addresses Dickens’ use of animals in his detective fiction. For Dickens, the detective is the one who can read the signs of the animal which the criminal attempts to dissimulate. In Bleak House and The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Dickens plays on Victorian stereotypes in portraying criminals as tigers. However, Dickens’ use of animals is not simply reductive. In both novels, he recognises the uncanny link that binds tiger to tiger-hunter, a point contextualised alongside recent developments in evolutionary theory. The essay concludes by analysing Dickens’ use of birds, showing how he deploys animals in his detective fiction to deconstruct the perceived boundaries between those who represent the law and those who transgress it.
