AB Along centuries literature has been constantly adapted. Many works have been rewritten or re-interpreted depending on the innovations suffered by each period of time. A great number of visual reinventions of the classics started to emerge during the entire 20th century in cinema and television due to innovations in technology and the insertion of the TV into the everyday life of society. Penny Dreadful it is a 2014 show created by John Logan which adapts English horror classics such as Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Dracula. What is different about Penny Dreadful is the mixture of the classics’ worlds into one big contemporary Gothic narrative located in the Victorian London. In this dissertation, a comparative analysis of the Gothic works and the corresponding adaptations in Penny Dreadful is accomplished.
