Latin American Literature Analysis

This work illustrates the presence of what is known as the «American Gothic» in Clemente Palma's text «La granja blanca». To this end, several texts and themes related with this tradition are notes, such as Edgar Allan Poe's «Oval Portrait», «Ligeia» or «Morella»; other internal and external features of literary gothicism are also pointedout, such as excess and transgression (Fred Botting: 1996) or, referring to the inner characteristics of the female gender, its transformation in an explicit reference to American Gothic (Louis S. Gross: 1989). In light of the aforementioned, we will seek the traces and presence of the Anglosaxon Gothic tradition in Hispanic Literature.
