Description: American Gothic literature inherited many time - worn tropes from its English Gothic precursor along with a core preoccupation: anxiety about power and property. Yet the transatlantic journey left its mark on the genre - - the English ghostly setting becomes the wilderness haunted by spectral Indians. The aristocratic villain is replaced by the striving independent young man. The dispossession of Native Americans and African Americans adds urgency to traditional Gothic anxieties about possession. The unchanging role of woman in early Gothic narratives parallels the status of American women even after the Revolution. Twentieth - century Gothic works offer inclusion to previously silent voices including immigrant writers with their own cultural traditions. The 21st century unleashes the zombie horde - - the latest incarnation of the voracious American.
