Milbank locates the “loss of the media-tory” (45) in Shakespeare and in Corbet, then lands with Milton, noting that his work centralizes ruined religious edifices as arenas “for nostalgic mediation” (52). Because of this desire for mediation, Milbank writes, it is only natural that eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Gothic should allude so frequently to Shakespeare and Milton. [...]Milbank provides the late example of John Buchan’s Witch Wood as another Gothic critique of Calvinism. Part 3 of the book, “The Ambivalence of Blood in Irish Gothic,” examines the way Gothic writers who were a part of the Church of Ireland think through the role of blood in relation to religious and national identity. The chapter culminates in her reading of Dracula as a polemic for this ecumenical model against the vampire’s contagious, blood-linking and blood-drinking religion.
