# Gothic Literature Study Companion

[Gothic Literature Study Companion](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hubfs/Gothic%20Literature%20Study%20Companion.docx)

Click on the button above to download a study companion for students to use when they read and explore gothic literature. There are five sections:

1. The Features of Gothic Literature
2. Characters in Gothic Literature
3. Extracts from Gothic Literature
4. Vocabulary for Gothic Literature
5. Writing About Gothic Literature

Here are a couple of snips from the booklet...

![1-Jul-19-2024-01-44-47-9634-PM](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/1-Jul-19-2024-01-44-47-9634-PM.png?width=750&height=524&name=1-Jul-19-2024-01-44-47-9634-PM.png)

![2-Jul-19-2024-01-44-47-9636-PM](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/2-Jul-19-2024-01-44-47-9636-PM.png?width=750&height=505&name=2-Jul-19-2024-01-44-47-9636-PM.png)

The idea is for the information to be a point of reference. The Features of Gothic Literature section will obviously need a bit of unpacking first, but it can then be used to help students spot patterns in and across texts. The Writing About Gothic Literature section is based around sentence stems from the Writing Revolution and should hopefully help students articulate their ideas alongside other guidance that you provide.

➡️ You can access a range of gothic paintings to explore by clicking [here](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/gothic-paintings-to-help-the-study-of-gothic-literature) 

➡️ You can access a study booklet with twelve literary extract by clicking [here](https://www.douglaswise.co.uk/blog/gothic-literature-study-booklet)

Hope the resources are helpful –
