Book Synopsis The Gothic Tales of Sheridan Le Fanu by : Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu
Download or read book The Gothic Tales of Sheridan Le Fanu written by Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu and published by . This book was released on 2021-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheridan Le Fanu was lauded by contemporaries such as M. R. James for his innovations in the ghost story and mystery genres, and his mastery of conjuring atmosphere and driving stories to thrilling narrative crescendos. And yet, aside from some regularly anthologized short stories and novellas, much of the writer's fiction remains unknown despite its quality. Aiming to firmly position Sheridan Le Fanu alongside other canonical horror writers published by the British Library, this anthology focuses on some of his lesser-known stories, exploring eight thoroughly Gothic tales of murderous families, dark castles, and ghosts whose business with the living remains unfinished.
Book Synopsis Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu by : Aoife Mary Dempsey
Download or read book Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu written by Aoife Mary Dempsey and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2022-01-15 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the fiction of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814–73) in its original material and cultural contexts of the early-to-mid Victorian period in Ireland. Le Fanu’s longstanding relationship with the Dublin University Magazine, a popular literary and political journal, is crucial in the examination of his work; likewise, his fiction is considered as part of a wider surge of supernatural, historical and antiquarian activity by Irish Protestants in the period following the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland (1801). This study discusses in detail Le Fanu’s habit of writing and re-writing stories – a practice that has engendered much confusion and consternation – while posthumous collections of his work are compared with original publications to demonstrate the importance of these material and cultural contexts. In new critical readings of aspects of Le Fanu’s best-known fiction, light is cast on some of his overlooked work through recontextualisation.

Book excerpt: The letter from the rich cousin came at a low point in the Marston family's finances. The man was as ill-bred and pushing as ever: utterly the model of a noxious relation -- but he was rich, and the Marstons were all but destitute. The family could hardly refuse him. But they would come to rue that letter, and the invitation that followed it; it was the beginning of the end for all of them. Of course it was! Common sense tells us not to take on . . .

Download or read book Chronicles of Golden Friars written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was the leading ghost-story writer of the nineteenth century and was central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. M. R. James described Le Fanu as "absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories." Three of his best-known works are Uncle Silas, Carmilla and The House by the Churchyard. In addition to M. R. James, several other writers have expressed strong admiration for Le Fanu's fiction. E. F. Benson stated that Le Fanu's stories "Green Tea," "The Familiar," and "Mr. Justice Harbottle" "are instinct with an awfulness which custom cannot stale, and this quality is due, as in The Turn of the Screw, to Le Fanu's admirably artistic methods in setting and narration." Benson added, " best work is of the first rank, while as a 'flesh-creeper' he is unrivalled. No one else has so sure a touch in mixing the mysterious atmosphere in which horror darkly breeds." Jack Sullivan has asserted that Le Fanu is "one of the most important and innovative figures in the development of the ghost story" and that Le Fanu's work has had "an incredible influence on the genre; regarded by M. R. James, E. F. Bleiler, and others as the most skillful writer of supernatural fiction in English."

Download or read book Carmilla written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and published by Aegitas. This book was released on 2024-05-23 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carmilla is a gothic novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, first published in 1872. It is often considered a seminal work in the vampire literature genre, predating Bram Stoker's Dracula by 25 years. The story revolves around a young woman named Laura and her encounter with a female vampire named Carmilla. The novella is narrated from Laura's perspective, who recounts her strange and eerie experiences with Carmilla. The two young women form a close bond, but Laura begins to experience disturbing dreams and declining health. It is eventually revealed that Carmilla is a vampire, and she is destroyed by a group of vampire hunters. Carmilla is notable for its exploration of lesbian themes, which were considered taboo at the time of its publication. The relationship between Laura and Carmilla is portrayed as intimate and sensual, although it is also fraught with danger and fear. The novella can be interpreted as a commentary on the societal attitudes towards same-sex desire in the Victorian era. The novella is also significant for its contribution to the vampire literature genre. Carmilla is depicted as a seductive and predatory figure, a trope that would become common in later vampire fiction. The novella also introduces the idea of a vampire hunter, a character type that would become a staple of the genre. Carmilla has been adapted into various forms of media, including film, television, and stage productions. It has also inspired a number of derivative works, including the web series Carmilla (2014-2016) and the novel The Gilda Stories (1991) by Jewelle Gomez. In terms of critical reception, Carmilla has been praised for its atmospheric writing and its exploration of taboo themes. However, it has also been criticized for its slow pacing and its lack of character development. Overall, Carmilla is a significant work in the gothic and vampire literature genres, and it continues to be studied and analyzed by scholars and fans alike.

Book Synopsis In a Glass Darkly by : Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu
Download or read book In a Glass Darkly written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-13 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a Glass Darkly is a collection of five different tales, presented as selections from the posthumous papers of the occult detective Dr. Martin Hesselius. The title is taken from 1 Corinthians 13:12, a deliberate misquotation of the passage which describes humanity as perceiving the world "through a glass darkly". "Green Tea" - An English clergyman named Jennings confides to Hesselius that he is being followed by a demon in the form of an ethereal monkey, invisible to everyone else, which is trying to invade his mind and destroy his life. Hesselius writes letters to a Dutch colleague about the victim's condition, which gets steadily worse with time as the creature steps up its methods, all of which are purely psychological. T "The Familiar"- A sea captain, living in Dublin, is stalked by "The Watcher", a strange dwarf who resembles a person from his past. "Mr. Justice Harbottle" - A cruel judge in the Court of Common Pleas, Elijah Harbottle, finds himself under attack by vengeful spirits, and in a disturbing dream he is condemned to death by a monstrous doppelgänger. The story is set between 1746 and 1748 "The Room in the Dragon Volan" - notable mystery story, in 26 chapters, which includes the theme of premature burial. "Carmilla"- A tale of a lesbian vampire, set in Styria, Austria. This story was to greatly influence Bram Stoker in writing Dracula. Joseph Thomas Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 – 1873) was an Irish writer of Gothic tales and mystery novels. He was a leading ghost-story writer of the nineteenth century and was central to the development of the genre in the Victorian era. M. R. James described Le Fanu as "absolutely in the first rank as a writer of ghost stories".
