Reference of "whose"

Does the highlighted "whose" in the text below refer to "romantic gothic literature"?


Context:

Almost as a reaction to these modern incursions into the sanctity of man’s identity, the actual objects and experiences that Freud enumerates as being capable of evoking uncanny sensations are derived from romantic gothic literature, whose tropes litter and haunt this modern technological landscape. These are the figure of the double, which Freud borrows from his colleague Otto Rank’s book The Double (1914); the evil eye and the dimension of the gaze as a source of magical power; and dismembered limbs, which, as well as connecting to the idea of the Romantic fragment, relate to the severing of connections between body parts that was occurring at this time in industry as well as in mechanical warfare.
