The Rise of Gothic Literature

Each student will present a 5 to 10 minute oral presentation on one of the following authors or historic/Gothic themes. Students will select one item from the following list (on a first come first serve basis) and prepare a one-page handout and a short oral presentation. The handout should combine text and images with a short bibliography, and the student should seek to present his/her presentation is light of the week’s readings. Students should feel free to incorporate PowerPoint presentations, Youtube videos, or any other visual aid into their presentation.
