How can Gothic language, infused with the vocabulary of fear (Punter, 1996 p. 18), be used to explore human perceptions of the climate crisis? Representations of nature in the Gothic have immediate relevance to understanding human attitudes about the environment. Drawing on the Victorian cultural phenomenon of flower anthologies, my thesis asks how the language of flowers is articulated in Gothic fiction. Distinguishable from the metaphor of 'plant horror' my project investigates how floral symbolism disrupts Gothic narratives to inspire reflection on selfhood and nature. Through ecofeminist and ecoGothic critical frameworks, I am working to show how these fictions produce culturally constructed definitions of nature and the self. If the industrial revolution is culpable in the production of the geological epoch termed the Anthropocene, it is vital to see how Victorian attitudes towards the natural world were embedded in the arts to challenge androcentric and anthropocentric attitudes.

哥特式的语言，充满了恐惧的词汇（Punter，1996年第18页），如何被用来探索人类对气候危机的看法？哥特式建筑中对自然的描绘与理解人类对环境的态度有着直接的关系。本文以维多利亚时期的花卉选集为背景，探讨了哥特小说中的花卉语言是如何表达的。区别于“植物恐怖”的隐喻，我的项目调查如何花卉象征破坏哥特式叙事，激发对自我和自然的反思。通过生态女性主义和生态哥特式的批评框架，我正在努力展示这些小说如何产生自然和自我的文化建构的定义。如果工业革命在被称为人类世的地质时代的产生中负有责任，那么至关重要的是要看到维多利亚时代对自然世界的态度如何嵌入艺术中，以挑战男性中心主义和男性中心主义的态度。
