forwarded from another list:

>Sublime Anxiety: The Gothic Family and the Outsider
>http://www.lib.virginia.edu/exhibits/gothic/open.html
>
>Visit this virtual exhibition, based on the University of Virginia's
>Sadleir-Black Collection of Gothic Books, for an introduction to Gothic
>books, the pulp fiction of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
>centuries. The exhibition traces the history of the genre from the 1790s to
>the present. Book dealer Michael Sadleir set out to acquire first editions
>of everything in the Northanger Canon, a list of the defining books of the
>Gothic craze in England in the early nineteenth century, compiled by Jane
>Austen and set down in her book, _Northanger Abbey_. Sublime Anxiety starts
>with the Northanger Canon and includes sections on women Gothic authors,
>vampires, the origins of the detective novel, and modern Gothic author Anne
>Rice. Images of book covers and illustrations are accompanied by
>descriptive captions.
