It is reformed and possesses new features but it is Gothic. First of all, my aim is to define and introduce the genre itself and how it has appeared in Irish literature, drawing attention to the differences. Then I will analyze three contemporary Irish novels: Seamus Deane’s Reading in the Dark, Jennifer Johnston’s Two Moons and at last, Anne Haverty’s One Day as a Tiger, which all possess characteristics of modern Gothic fiction.55enGothicspaceIrish fictiondiplomamunkaDEENK Témalista::Irodalomtudományip
