Abstract This paper discusses the rise of Gothic literature, a genre known for its prevailing atmosphere of horror, mystery, and terror, during the 18th-century Romantic period. Romanticism was a literary, artistic, and philosophical movement originating in the 18th century as a reaction against Neoclassicism, emphasising imagination, fantasy, and emotion. Through detailed analysis of events of the era, this paper explores how and why gothic literature swept the world into a frenzy. The research concludes by examining the impact and continued relevance of gothic literature in the modern age.
