Wow, this got surprisingly deep. The underlying blackness of America the romantics tried to place somewhere else. What do we have left?

Article idea: compare how O'Connor approaches gothic vs Poe. Probably already been done, but would be an interesting exercise. Or trade out Poe for Lovecraft, since he's closer in time though slightly more removed in style.

Done with Hawthorne, on to the true master of blackness: Poe!
