  | aaraa = But when the minds of men were debauched by the imposition of priestcraft to the most absurd pitch of credulity, the authors of romance arose, and losing sight of probability, filled their performances with the most monstrous hyperboles. If they could not equal the ancient poets in point of genius they were resolved to excel them in fiction, and apply to the wonder, rather than the judgment, of their readers. Accordingly, they brought necromancy to their aid, and instead of supporting the character of their heroes by dignity of sentiment and practice, distinguished them by their bodily strength, activity, and extravagance of behaviour.

  | aaraa = When an architect examines a Gothic structure by Grecian rules, he finds nothing but deformity. But the Gothic architecture has its own rules by which, when it comes to be examined, it is seen to have its merit as well as the Grecian. The question is not which of the two is conducted in the simplest or truest taste, but whether there be not sense and design in both, when scrutinized by the laws on which each is projected.  The same observation holds of the two sorts of poetry. Judge of the Fairy Queen by the classic models and you are shocked with its disorder: consider it with an eye to its Gothic original and you find it regular. The unity and simplicity of the former are more complete, but the latter has that sort of unity and simplicity which results from its nature.

  | aaraa = And, in particular, you hear it commonly said of the tales of Fairy, which they first and principally adorned, "that they are extravagant and absurd; that they surpass all bounds, not of truth only, but of probability, and look more like the dreams of children, than the manly inventions of poets." ... This criticism, whatever name it deserves, supposes that the poets, who are lyars by profession, expect to have their lyes believed.  Surely they are not so unreasonable. They think it enough if they can but bring you to imagine the possibility of them.  And how small a matter will serve for this?  A legend, a tale, a tradition, a rumour, a superstition; in short, any thing is enough to be the basis of their air-formed visions.  Does any capable reader trouble himself about the truth, or even the credibility of their fancies?  Alas, no; he is best pleased when he is made to conceive (he minds not by what magic) the existence of such things as his reason tells him did not, and were never likely to, exist... We must distinguish between the popular belief, and that of the reader.  The fictions of poetry do, in some degree at least, require the first (they would otherwise deservedly pass for dreams indeed): but when the poet has this advantage on his side, and his fancies have, or may be supposed to have, a countenance from the current superstitions of the age in which he writes, he dispenses with the last, and gives his reader leave to be as sceptical, and as incredulous, as he pleases.

  | aaraa = One of the strangest circumstances in those books, is that of the women warriors with which they all abound. Butler in his Hudibras, who saw it only in the light of a poetical invention, ridicules it as a most unnatural idea, with great spirit... Nicetas observes that in the time of Manuel Comnena, there were in one Crusade many women, armed like men, on horseback... Again: what can be more absurd and incredible, it is often said, than the vast armies we read of in Romance? a circumstance to which Milton scruples not to allude in those lines of his Paradise Regained... The classical reader is much scandalized on these occasions, and never fails to cry out on the impudence of these lying fablers.  Yet, if he did but reflect on the prodigious swarms which Europe sent out in the Crusades, and that the transactions of those days furnished the Romance writers with their ideas and images, he would see that the marvellous in such stories was modest enough, and did not very much exceed the strict bounds of historical representation. The first army, for instance, that marched for the Holy Land, even after all the losses it had sustained by the way, amounted, we are told, when it came to be mustered in the plains of Asia, to no less than seven hundred thousand fighting men: a number which would almost have satisfied the Romancer's keenest appetite for wonder and amplification.

These Giants were oppressive feudal Lords; and every Lord was to be met with, like the Giant, in his strong hold, or castle.  Their dependents of a lower form, who imitated the violence of their superiors, and had not their castles, but their lurking-places, were the Savages of Romance.  The greater Lord was called a Giant, for his power; the less a Savage, for his brutality.

The piece I mean is the Castle of Otranto. The scene is laid in Gothic Chivalry.  Where a beautiful imagination, supported by strength of judgment, has enabled the Author to go beyond his subject, and effect the full purpose of the ancient Tragedy, that is, to purge the passions by pity and terror, in colouring as great and harmonious as in any of the best Dramatic Writers.

  | aaraa = Since Ellen Moers first coined the phrase in the 1970s the "female Gothic" has hardened into a literary category.  Moers primarily meant Gothic texts written by women; but from this simple definition much has followed. As critics pursued Moers'S leads, a recurring family of narratives began to emerge as a common description of the female Gothic plot. Although different critics at different times stressed different aspects, the plot's broad contours remained constant: a heroine caught between a pastoral haven and a threatening castle, sometimes in flight from a sinister patriarchal figure, sometimes in search of an absent mother, and, often, both together (that is to say, we encounter variations on Ann Radcliffe's A Sicilian Romance).
