This project revises our understanding of Gothic Fiction, the most important prose genre of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. Its ground-breaking argument and innovative methodology help develop Australia's international reputation in Romantic studies, while expanding the methodological repertoire of literary studies. The project adds to our culture by contributing to debates about the 'truth' status of (and relation between) emotions, literature, and imagined worlds. It adds to our understanding of the present, through its revisionary account of a key stage in the development of contemporary notions of experience, the fictive, imagined/virtual worlds, and the modern crisis of representation.

这个项目修正了我们对哥特式小说的理解，哥特式小说是十八世纪末十九世纪初最重要的散文体裁。其开创性的论点和创新的方法有助于提高澳大利亚在浪漫主义研究方面的国际声誉，同时扩大文学研究的方法论范围。该项目通过促进关于情感、文学和想象世界的“真相”状态（以及它们之间的关系）的辩论来丰富我们的文化。它通过对当代经验概念、虚构、想象/虚拟世界以及现代表征危机发展的关键阶段的修正说明，增加了我们对当下的理解。
