TRADITIONS OF THE GOTHIC NOVEL IN THE WORK OF IRIS MURDOCH AND JOHN FOWLES
Keywords:
Gothic, story, tradition, technique, genre, philosophical, literary, novelAbstract
This article is dedicated to the works of Iris Murdoch and John Fowles, which occupy a special place in the literary process of the 20th century, since they reflected relations with the traditions of English realism, but at the same time with the newest philosophical, aesthetic and artistic discussions. Using gothic novel techniques to create an atmosphere of fear and psychological tension, bringing the devil's evil image to the center of the story, Murdoch and Fowles explore problems of a philosophical nature.
