Additionally, I have looked at Hoeveler´s (1997) gender theory when it comes to Zofloya. I have combined historicist approaches with genre theory, with the use of Williams (2017) Crawford (2013), Chard (2009), Davison (2009), Frank (2008), and Miles (2002). In my analysis, I have used many methods to look at this topic. In relation to this, I have looked at how nature and the supernatural is portrayed in both novels. In this paper, I have compared and contrasted the gothic novels The Romance of the Forest (1791) by Ann Radcliffe and Zofloya(1806) by Charlotte Dacre, and analysed how they portray the cultural values of the Enlightenment.
