Explore the foundational connection between England’s social history and the rise of the Gothic novel in Alok Bhalla’s “The Cartographers of Hell.” This insightful work challenges the notion of the Gothic as purely supernatural or mythic, grounding it firmly in the economic, political, and moral realities of late 18th and early 19th century England. Bhalla argues that Gothic literature rejects illusory ideals, confronting instead the stark conditions of inequality, power, and labor that shaped everyday lives. Through sensitive analyses of seminal works by Walpole, Radcliffe, Shelley, and others, Bhalla unveils the Gothic novel’s profound engagement with material existence.
