First of the postings

This is the blog page for Gothic Literature at TCU. My name is Jason, and I am a Senior here majoring in Biology. I recently took my MCAT and will hopefully be going off to medical school next August. This semester I am actually taking 21 hours of class, so I am bust to say the least.

Over this course I hope to find enjoyment in reading these older Gothic novels. I have never really been exposed to this type of writing before, so hopefully it will be a pleasurable experience, and not an experience characterized by agony. While I have claimed that I have not been directly exposed to "Gothic Literature", I have read a lot of novels and poems from the Romantic era that overlaps with some of the major gothic time periods. I do enjoy many of the Romantic poets such as Blake and Keats, but I have never taken a course that focuses on this time period in particular.

I guess we will see how this turns out.
