ABOUT
My name is Georgina Gale, and I'm a PhD student based at the University of Glasgow (split with the University of Stirling). Currently my research focuses on the influence of the gothic on late-Victorian journalism, but as you might guess from this website, I am interested in most things relating to gothic fiction and the Victorian era!
​
I created this website to accompany my Twitter account (@VictorianGothik, aka 'Gothic Girl') as a means of sharing free educational content relating to my two main interests. This includes:
-
Regular tweets
-
An index of nineteenth-century authors with short biographies and links to their work
-
An open access library of Victorian gothic texts
-
A blog
An additional goal of the library is to produce copies of these texts in various formats to make it accessible to all (e.g. with a dyslexic-friendly files, PDF formats, and web versions).
​
This work is something I undertake voluntarily in my spare time, so I'm extremely grateful for any support you can offer by:
-
Sourcing original copies of texts
-
Notifying me of gaps in the existing lists
-
Giving feedback on how to make the site/content more accessible
-
Supporting me via Ko-fi (using the button at the very bottom of this page)
