Challenges the critical view that Gothic is a vehicle for anti-Catholic, anticlerical sentiment. This book appeals the view that the Catholic motifs contained in Gothic novels (monks, nuns, abbeys, confessionals) signify anti-Catholic prejudice and anti-Church subversiveness on the part of the author and the audience.
