While I do consider "Rebecca" to be part of the gothic romance canon (Victoria Holt's "Mistress of Mellyn" is practically a remake of the storyline and sparked the gothic romance trend of the 60s and 70s), I've found it to be more a novel of obsession and betrayal, than "romance". Du Maurier herself hated that everyone thought it was a romance novel, and particular so after the Hitchcock movie adaptation made it seem like a romance.
