bThe Gothic Wanderer Rises Eternal in Popular Literature/bbr From the horrors of sixteenth century Italian castles to twenty-first century plagues, from the French Revolution to the liberation of Libya, Tyler R. Tichelaar takes readers on far more than a journey through literary history. The Gothic Wanderer is an exploration of man's deepest fears, his eff orts to rise above them for the last two centuries, and how he may be on the brink finally of succeeding.brbr Tichelaar examines the figure of the Gothic wanderer in such well-known Gothic novels as iThe Mysteries of Udolpho/i, iFrankenstein/i, and iDracula/i, as well as lesser known works like Fanny Burney's iThe Wanderer/i, Mary Shelley's iThe Last Man/i, and Edward Bulwer-Lytton's iZanoni/i. He also finds surprising Gothic elements in classics like Dickens' iA Tale of Two Cities/i and Edgar Rice Burroughs' iTarzan of the Apes/i. From Matthew Lewis' iThe Monk/i to Stephenie Meyer's iTwilight/i, Tichelaar explores a literary tradition whose characters refl ect our greatest fears and deepest hopes. Readers will find here the revelation that not only are we all Gothic wanderers--but we are so only by our own choosing.brbr bAcclaim for iThe Gothic Wanderer/i/bbr "iThe Gothic Wanderer/i shows us the importance of its title figure in helping us to see our own imperfections and our own sometimes contradictory yearnings to be both unique and yet a part of a society. The reader is in for an insightful treat."br --Diana DeLuca, Ph.D. and author of Extraordinary Thingsbrbr "Make no mistake about it, The Gothic Wanderer is an important, well researched and comprehensive treatise on some of the world's finest literature."br --Michael Willey, author of Ojisan Zanonibrbr bAbout the Author/bbr Tyler R.
