摘要：AbstractThere was a virtual explosion in the last two decades in academic and scholarly works of Gothic. In this way, there have been various critics to codify the features and history of Gothic and its correlated genres in literature. The architecture of Gothic literature has been evolving on the production of culture and symbolic formations dealing with conflicting beliefs and cultural anxiety. This issue focuses on the cross-generic dynamism in the Gothic in different literary eras that has made it so transformable to suit changing times. An expansion in studies of the Gothic in all its various forms that greatly extended what the Gothic was seen to encompass and opened up a wide range of critical approaches that collectively made the Gothic come alive. Gothic literature has tried to juxtapose itself among other interdisciplinary studies in postmodernism. There is an analogous articulation of the psychological and philosophical implications of terror in postmodernist literature, to the terror of the Gothic novel, uncovering the significance of postmodern recurrences of the Gothic, and identifying new historical and philosophical aspects of the genre. This article concentrating on the rich history of Gothic in different eras focuses on the issue of terror in postmodern Gothic.
