摘要

沃波尔的小说《奥特朗托城堡》的第一版序言中有一段对一个想象中的古堡的描述，表面上是对小说文本的见证，这句话是由一个想象中的译者威廉·马歇尔(William Marshall)说的。马歇尔说，这本书是用“黑色字母”字体印刷的，这个词在这个时期已经是“哥特式”字体的同义词。本文简要总结了“哥特”这个分类术语的历史，因为它被应用于剧本，为了提供进一步的背景，沃波尔在第一版序言中对古物主义的模仿，以及他在小说第二版的副标题中使用“哥特”一词的关系。

Gothic Paleography and the Preface to the First Edition of The Castle of Otranto

The first-edition preface to Walpole's novel The Castle of Otranto contains a description of an imagined incunabulum, ostensibly witnessing the novel's text, which is attributed to an imagined translator, William Marshall. The incunabulum is said by Marshall to be printed in a ‘black letter’ typeface, a term which was already in this period a synonym for ‘gothic’ letterforms. This essay briefly summarizes the history of this classificatory term ‘gothic’ as it is applied to script, in order to provide further context for Walpole's parody of antiquarianism in the first edition preface and its relation to his use of the term ‘gothic’ in the subtitle to the novel's second edition.

期刊介绍： The official journal of the International Gothic Association considers the field of Gothic studies from the eighteenth century to the present day. Gothic Studies opens a forum for dialogue and cultural criticism, and provides a specialist journal for scholars working in a field which is today taught or researched in academic institutions around the globe. The journal invites contributions from scholars working within any period of the Gothic; interdisciplinary scholarship is especially welcome, as are studies of works across the range of media, beyond the written word.
