FONSECA GOMEZ, Marco Antonio. ASPECTS OF THE GOTHIC NOVEL IN THE NOVELS OF ERNESTO SÁBATO. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2019, n.75, pp.139-159. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.n75a07.

This article addresses the analysis of the appearance and the particular treatment of several aspects of the gothic novel that Ernesto Sábato (1911-2011) carried out in his novels On Heroes and Tombs (1961) and The Angel of Darkness (1974). The author used the figures and motives of this literary current to support a theme that was fundamental throughout his career and through which he developed his novelistic work: the irruption of the irrational in the fictional plane.

Keywords : Gothic; Novel; Influence; Representation; Sábato.
