‘THE ABSOLUTE HORROR OF HORRORS’ REVISED
A Bibliographical Checklist of
Early-Nineteenth-Century Gothic Bluebooks

Angela Koch

I

The following checklist provides bibliographical details of 217 gothic bluebooks scattered throughout twenty-one national, academic, and private libraries in the British Isles, North America, and Germany (Fürstliche Bibliothek Corvey, North Rhine Westphalia). In its present form, this report represents the first attempt at a comprehensive listing of a literary phenomenon, which Frank in his 1987 revaluation of the full-length gothic novel describes as ‘[l]ow quality Gothic fiction denoted by its garish blue coverings or wrappers’. Frank later adds the subsequent definitions:

The Gothic bluebook is a primitive paperback or ur-pulp publication, cheaply manufactured, sometimes garishly illustrated, and meant to be thrown away after being ‘read to pieces’. [...] The reader of the bluebook received a single dose of Gothicism between the blue covers. Almost all of the hundreds of bluebooks published during the period are pirated abridgments of full-length Gothic novels […] [1]

and:

Although Mrs. Radcliffe continued to be widely read, admired, and imitated as the Nineteenth Century began, the route of development taken by the Gothic novel after 1800 was down the corridor of an unrestrained supernatural and toward the absolute horror of horrors. Hasty and relentless horror became the stock-in-trade of the Gothic chapbooks and bluebooks after 1800 when the main path for Gothic fiction was mapped out by Monk Lewis, not Ann Radcliffe. These hundreds of small Gothics were the cheap and tawdry offspring of the Schauerromantik engergies released by Lewis’ The Monk. [2]

Apart from the fact that neither their blue paper covers nor their supposed ‘garish’ frontispieces distinguish the bluebooks in any way from the contemporary romance, the features of which are imitated in order to appeal to a readership similar to that of the gothic triple-decker, depreciative comments such as these prove wrong in two points:

Despite the fact that access to the Princely Library at Castle Corvey enabled me to take into consideration a wide range of gothic material, I could not identify more than sixty-three adaptions of longer works among the bluebooks. Apart from a few exceptional cases, it appears doubtful that any more of the items listed below are traceable to full-length gothic novels.
The sentimental and rationalised contents of the bluebooks reveal them as a reactionary mode of the gothic. In contrast to three-decker works such as M. G. Lewis’s The Monk (1794), with their tendency towards ‘horror’ in the form of moral ambivalence (which themselves represent rare experiments in terms of an unrestrained use of the supernatural), horror according to Burke’s definition is absent in the bluebooks. [3] Whenever works of the so-called horror mode are condensed into the convenient bluebook format of thirty-six to seventy-two pages duodecimo, they are stripped of the epistemological pessimism of their antecedents. Consequently, the notion of the bluebooks as a Romantic narrative genre is as misleading as that of the Romantic gothic novel, which apart from a few standardised landscape descriptions and the occasional appearance of a rather down-to-earth ghost is determined by the expectations typical of the readership of popular literature in general: to be superficially tickled by the idea of a something beyond everyday experience, but at the same time to be reassured of the stability of their own concept of reality.

Misinterpretations such as those described above do not merely result from the currently incomplete attempt at a revaluation of the gothic in aesthetic terms, but in the first place from the evanescence of the bluebooks themselves. In order to identify and locate the items from the list the following sources have been used:

  The British Library General Catalogue of Printed Books to 1975. 360 vols (London: Clive Bingley; London, Munich, New York, Paris: K. G. Saur, 1979–88).

  The National Union Catalogue. Pre-1956 Imprints. 754 vols (London: Mansell, and Chicago: American Library Association, 1968–81).

  Nineteenth-Century Short-Title Catalogue. Series I Phase I 1801–15, 6 vols (Cambridge: Avero Publications, 1984).
