Travel in Gothic literature serves as a lens through which to explore deep-seated cultural anxieties surrounding fear, unfamiliar territories, and environmental shifts. The book examines how journeys in these narratives reflect themes of surveillance and the perception of the foreign, revealing the transformative impact of travel on both characters and readers. It delves into the interplay between movement and the psychological landscapes shaped by societal concerns.
