This course explores parallel literary, architectural, and theoretical explorations of the “Gothic” from the mid-18th century to the present, focusing on the “darker” psychological undercurrents of the Gothic and their relationship to modern conceptions of the self. Among the writers, architects, and theorists that the class examines are: Edmund Burke, Horace Walpole, Matthew Lewis, and Etienne-Louis Boullée in the 18th century; Jane Austen, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Victor Hugo, and John Ruskin in the 19th century; and Sigmund Freud, Wilhelm Worringer, Hans Poelzig, Elfriede Jelinek, Julia Kristeva, Daniel Libeskind, Peter Eisenman, and W.G. Sebald in the 20th century.
