Am y llyfr
Llyfr sy'n herio'r farn fod y mudiad Gothig yn fodd o gyfleu syniadau gwrth-Gatholig a gwrth-Eglwysig. Mae'n herio'r farn ysgolheigaidd sy'n dehongli'r motifau Catholig a geir mewn nofelau Gothig (e.e. mynachod, lleianod, abatai) fel rhagfarn yn erbyn yr Eglwys, ar ran yr awdur a'r gynulleidfa.
Dyfyniadau
"The Gothic novel transports you to a strange and fascinating world quite unlike your own, far away from the calm drawing rooms of Regency England. It is the ultimate escapist literature. It is this world, and its mutually beneficial relationship with Catholicism, that Dr Maria Purves so beautifully illuminates for the reader." The Tablet, May 2010
