AB In the eighteenth century, a Gothic literary canon emerged. This B.A. Thesis aims to show that there is not a unique type of Gothic literary tradition. To illustrate this, a variant of the canonical Gothic, namely the Irish Gothic, is presented, with an Irish novel, Melmoth the Wanderer (1820) by Charles Robert Maturin, as an illustration of its main traits. Following an analytic method, the distinctive features of each Gothic tradition are explained separately. Then, an analysis of the major Gothic aspects found in Melmoth undeniably reveals that the most relevant ones belong to the Irish Gothic tradition. The novel, I conclude, can be safely included in the Irish Gothic category.
