The Glossary of the Gothic serves as a point of reference for users, and also connects chapbooks to one another using keywords and themes. Each entry situates a particular term in the Gothic, then provides links to chapbooks researchers can consider with regard to that term. The Glossary also provides a short bibliography and links to related terms. Questions related to this content should be directed to Wendy Fall at Marquette University, at wendy.fall@marquette.edu.
