The article aims to depict the phenomenon of cultural changes at the turn of the 18th and 19th century. Gothicism characterized by that time is widely considered as a herald of Romanticism. However, the article approaches Gothicism as a decadent form of Classicism. The reason behind the appearance of Gothicism was in fact Enlightenment paradigms having become inefficient, and more precisely – as discussed in the article: - the end of seeking security in nature, - the end of trust in human mind, - the change of the position of women in society, - the change in perception of literature. The conclusion of the article links the first appearances of Gothicism with the later development of pop culture.

This article analyses the nature of urban fantasy by aggregating the claims, suggestions, and observations made by several different accounts of what urban fantasy is. These accounts comprise six scholarly sources and four sources written by people who are producers and purveyors of urban fantasy. An eleventh “account” is made up of the impressions conveyed by a vast number of book covers identified through Google Image Search. These eleven accounts are analysed with regard to their views on worlds and settings, cities and urbanity, central characters, and the sources of fantastic elements. Finally, the article presents how three major threads in the accounts reveal that urban fantasy has a central, thematic concern with the Unseen. This Unseen is largely related to a social Other that portrays unpleasant aspects of urban life, such as criminality, homelessness, addiction, prostitution, and physical and sexual abuse.
