Type: Dissertation Year: 2013 Publication Information: Claremont Graduate University, Ph.D., 2013. Annotation: Examines Shakespearean influences on the Gothic novel by comparing Romeo and Juliet with The Castle of Otranto, Titus Andronicus with The Monk, Tempest with Frankenstein, and Macbeth with Wuthering Heights. Argues that Gothic "authors use similar imagery to surreptitiously challenge the authority figures and institutions that sought to prescribe what makes a work of fiction socially acceptable or worthy of critical acclaim."
