This article considers the role of space in structuring both physical and psychological
entombment in Manfred. It argues that Byron undoes the Wordsworthian reading of sublime
nature in part by utilising gothic notions of repression and burial to describe Manfred's
destruction, and that throughout the text it is the most open and unrestrained spaces of
nature—rather than the oppressive physical enclosures typical of the gothic genre—that
present the greatest danger of entombment and burial.
