The gothic novel was invented by Horace Walpole. The first gothic novel was The Castle of Otranto in 1764.
The basic elements that I don't put in the list are:
- The setting in the castle/ ambientació en un castell.
- An ancient prophecy/ una novel·la antigua.
- Omens, portents, visions/ presaguis, auguris, visions.
- High, even overwrought emotion/ molta emoció, i sobreexitació.
- Women in distress/ les dones en perill.
