Description
Haunted shorelines, oppressively expansive beaches, and the crumbling edgelands around coastal cliffs have been a feature of the Gothic literary tradition. This Element examines the function of littoral terror, hauntings, and uncanny encounters as a means of unsettling pervasive conceptions of identity at national, regional, and individual levels.
