説明

In this paper,the issues concerning manifestations of Darwinism and the occult in Gothic fiction will be explored. On the Origin of Species was published by Charles Darwin in 1859. His study of biology and the development of the theory of natural selection called into question Chiristianity's established beliefs on the creation of mankind. This rather more prosaic determination of the origins of mankind was difficult for some Christians to accept. This brief study will examine the relationship between occult and Darwinism in two examples of Gothic horror fiction.
