Honors British Literature ENGL 2323 - Holton - Fall 2024: Additional Literary Resources

Library resources to assist in research for Gothic Literature

Finding Books/E-Books/Media/Free Books

ACC has a wide variety of books, electronic books, and audiovisual materials on gothic literature and related subjects. In addition, older gothic literature is located in the public domain. I've add those resources as well. 

Free Resources

If a book has entered into the public domain, it is free! Below are some common sites to find quality public domain works.

Project Gutenberg (and some of our databases) provides full-text versions of certain works.

Librivox provides free full-text audio recordings of certain works.

Some authors have given up their rights to their material giving anyone access to it for free. Examples include:

A Guide to the Gothic by Jeanette A. Laredo: "A Gothic anthology of selections from more than 200 years of Gothic works in the public domain.....from 1764 to the present". Includes many excerpts of classic Gothic works.

The Emergence of Irish Gothic Fiction - histories, origins, theories by Jarlath Killeen covers a few tests assigned to this course including The Castle of Otranto and Frankenstein.
