- Sequestered Spaces and Defective Doors in Tales by Collins and Riddell Ilse M. Bussing Lengua y Literatura Gothic literature architecture Victorian house In nineteenth-century texts the Victorian home is not merely a setting for supernatural activity—it is the protagonist. This article considers how architecture engendered and shaped haunted space within Gothic texts by focusing on a single feature— the door—whose symbolic charge has been widely discussed by critics. However, instead of focusing on psychoanalytic or feminist notions commonly attached to this element, this article considers architectural manuals of the day in order to “read” spatial and cultural implications of the door in Victorian households, arguing that an excessive concern for privacy and concealment in life translates easily into Gothic fiction, in the form of spatial anxiety and infiltration. The discussion centers on two literary texts: The Dead Secret (1857) by Wilkie Collins and The Open Door by Charlotte Riddell (1882). 2012 artículo científico 2175-8026 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=478348700005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4783 Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies application/pdf Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Ilha do Desterro: A Journal of English Language, Literatures in English and Cultural Studies (Brasil) Num.62
