The Gothic revival

The first literary attempt shows an attachment to the Augustan era, with chivalrous reminiscences, a rediscovered manuscript and the work divided into five chapters like the acts of Greek tragedies. The other novels are more daring, with narrative techniques that improve - such as "stories within stories" - and with an ever clearer detachment from the Roman Catholic Church, seen by some authors as based on suffering, on external appearance and associated with Inquisition. The last book represents the journey par excellence, through the figure of the Wandering Jew, forced to wander and tell his story, in a fatal clash between Culture and Nature.
