Printing the Gothic: Horace Walpole and the Reimagining of English Aesthetic Tradition
Fri 2/13 • 3:30PM - 6PM PST
William Andrews Clark Memorial Library
Join us for the opening reception of this exhibition, curated by Edward Hyunsoo Yang (Loren and Frances Rothschild Endowed Graduate Research Fellow). The Gothic has long carried a reputation of being little more than cheap entertainment: a genre thought to possess limited literary or cultural value. This exhibition, on view by appointment through April 13, 2026, challenges that view by tracing the Gothic’s connection to a collective cultural effort to establish, and promote, an identifiably English art.
