Gothic Romance (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gothic Romance (French: Bravoure) is a 1984 novel by the French writer Emmanuel Carrère. It is about the writing of the 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and focuses on John William Polidori, Lord Byron's personal physician, who is embittered and claims that Mary Shelley stole his ideas. It was Carrère's second novel.[1]
The book was published in French by Éditions P.O.L [fr] in 1984 and in English translation in 1990. Publishers Weekly called it "allusive and contrived" and wrote that it "will appeal most to readers concerned with narrative as a puzzle and a process".[2]
