Abstract
An exploration of Gothic aspects of Scottish poetry across centuries, from Henryson and Dunbar, through the Ballads, to the 'Dark Poets' of industrial Victorian Scotland, MacDiarmid and modern and contemporary poets. The premise is from Emile Male's The Gothic Image: that all medieval art was didactic yet Gothic art intrinsically opposes the best efforts of rationalism and introduces inexplicable and often destructive forces upon humanity's best attempts at reason.
