| | Gothic - definition of Gothic by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia. |
| | Horace Walpole applied the word Gothic to his novel The Castle of Otranto, a Gothic Story (1765) in the sense "medieval, not classical." From this novel filled with scenes of terror and gloom in a medieval setting descended a literary genre still popular today; from its subtitle descended the name for it. | | | A novel in a style emphasizing the grotesque, mysterious, and desolate. | | | The word Gothic, first recorded in 1611 in a reference to the language of the Goths, was extended in sense in several ways, meaning "Germanic," "medieval, not classical," "barbarous," and also an architectural style that was not Greek or Roman. |
