The author of On the Supernatural in Poetry, Ann Radcliffe, died in 1823, and her husband published her work post-humously in 1826. In it she uses the upper class' favorite literary structure, dialogue,  to argue the legitimacy of the gothic genre. She used logic, another favored tool of the privileged, to explain that it made perfect sense for the terror and horror-filled stories circulating among the lower classes to trigger the Sublime. She made multiple points, as the dialogue format allowed her to provide herself with counterpoints to respond to. She is credited with accruing respect for the gothic genre through her works (Ann Radcliffe).
