Instead, what makes Rebecca a Gothic novel is its focus on the core Gothic trope: the present haunted by the past-although in Rebecca’s case, this haunting is purely psychological. Ambiguously set in the 1920s or ‘30s, Rebecca contains no elements of the supernatural, no true evil villain, and no attacks on the heroine’s life. Rebecca is essentially a Gothic novel in the traditional sense, though it was written much later than its 18 th– and 19 th-century fellows. Thus, I found myself downloading the audiobook of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. There was one woman on that list whose works I had not read before, and so I decided to seek her out.
