  1. #Halloween Countdown, Day 15

    Let’s keep this #Gothic Halloween-fest going! Today's text is Wieland; or, The Transformation (1798) by #CharlesBrockdenBrown.

    Quote: But this incident was different from any that I had ever before known. Here were proofs of a sensible and intelligent existence, which could not be denied. Here was information obtained and imparted by means unquestionably super-human.

  6. #Halloween Countdown, Day 6

    A second #AnnRadcliffe novel read and savored by women working in the 19th-century mills in Lowell, Massachusetts was The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794).

    Quote: “… I am not so much afraid of faeries, as of ghosts, and they say there are a plentiful many of them about the castle; now I should be frightened to death, if I should chance to see any of them. But hush! ma’amselle, walk softly! I have thought, several times, something passed by me.”

  7. #Halloween Countdown, Day 5

    Another title very popular with women working in 19th-century mills in Lowell, Massachusetts was The Romance of the Forest (1791) by the mother of the #Gothic, #AnnRadcliffe.

    Quote: “She saw herself surrounded by the darkness and stillness of night, in a strange place, far distant from any friends, going she scarcely knew whither, under the guidance of strangers, and pursued, perhaps, by an inveterate enemy.”
