Mythistoria gothica

Strawberry Hill, villa aedificata modo « renascentiae gothicae » a scriptore Horatio Walpole.

Mythistoria gothica est genus litterarium Anglicum, ad vastius genus mythistoriarum pertinens. Mythistoriam nigram praecedens, mythistoria gothica cum Horatii Walpole The Castle of Otranto sive De Castello Hydruntensi (1764) nasci generaliter censetur, abque 1830 paulatim declinare, ut horrificarum litterarum mos in Europa instituitur. Mythistoria gothica Anglica illuminismi motum parte continuit, etsi spiritu differre incipit: nam desinente XVIIIo saeculo illuminismus reprehenditur.
