An important and influential 1773 essay on the psychology of terror, with an over-the-top "fragment" which is intended to illustrate the theory advanced in the essay itself. Although the entire work has traditionally been attributed to Barbauld, it is in fact the case that the "Sir Bertrand" fragment was written by her brother, John Aikin. [Michael Gamer, UPenn]

For another Romantic-era essay on supernaturalist theory and practice by a master of the literary Gothic tale, and one influenced by the Aikin/Barbauld piece, be sure to check out Ann Radcliffe's "On the Supernatural in Poetry;" see also John Wilson's "Some Remarks on the Use of the Preternatural in Works of Fiction" and Sir Walter Scott's "On the Supernatural in Fictitious Composition."
