Download or read book Tales of Terror - The Supernatural Poem Since 1800 written by Brett Rutherford and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evil never dies, and neither do the poets who dwell in the shadowland of Gothic gloom and supernatural horror. This treasury of supernatural-themed poems is a supplement to Brett Rutherford's anthology series, Tales of Terror. Inspired by Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon chronicles, the medieval tale of a bad bishop eaten by rats, the lore of the shape-shifter incubus known as Puck, the German ghost-ballad of "Lenore," and the vision of a frenzied witches' sabbath, Gothic poets have mined mythology and history to clothe ancient terrors in new language. The 96 poems selected for this anthology come from the United States, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Peru, and Colombia. Treasures to be found in this volume include the tale of Siegfried and the dragon, a succubus in a World War I battlefield, The Grim Reaper's Dance of Death, alluring and fatal cemetery specters, and an avenging revenant - plus ghosts, witches, vampires, were-ravens and dreads that cannot be named. Among the 41 writers featured are Goethe, Rossetti, Hugo, Gautier, Cawein, Holland, Longfellow, Kipling, Southey, Marquis, Browning, Rutherford, Todhunter, Vanderbeck, and Wagner. Highlights include the translation of Bürger's "Lenore" made by Dante Gabriel Rossetti at age 16; new translations of classic French poems of terror by Gautier and Hugo; poems based on the "Dance of Death" engravings of Hans Holbein; a selection of supernatural poems by Madison Cawein, "the American Keats;" newly rediscovered poems by American Gothic great Barbara A. Holland; selections another nearly-forgotten poet, Fannie Stearns Davis; and new translations of landmark dark poems from 19th-century Spain and Latin America. For the poetry lover, and for the fan of supernatural literature, this book is a year-round Halloween treat of entertaining and alarming poems to read aloud - bedtime stories for very bad children. For the scholar of the Gothic, it supplements the huge collection already assembled in the four preceding volumes of Tales of Wonder and Tales of Terror. The book also includes a cumulative index and bibliography for the entire series.

Book excerpt: The tradition of weird poetry is one that stretches back for millennia, to the earliest literary expression of the human race. In this new volume-the first comprehensive historical anthology of weird, horrific, and supernatural poetry in more than 50 years-the editors have rightly begun their survey of weirdness in verse with Homer's "Odyssey," proceeding through Greek, Latin, and medieval verse to such towering poets of English and American literature as Coleridge, Shelley, Poe, Tennyson, and Longfellow. With the dawn of the 20th century, such leaders of horrific prose as H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Donald Wandrei, and Robert E. Howard came to the fore. Our own day has seen a remarkable resurgence in weird poetry, and such poets as Richard L. Tierney, Bruce Boston, W. H. Pugmire, and Ann K. Schwader have added to a legacy that stretches back to the dawn of time. The editors have added brief biographical notes on all the poets included, along with bibliographical information on the poems. This volume will become the standard edition of weird poetry for decades to come. S. T. Joshi is the author of "Unutterable Horror: A History of Supernatural Fiction" (2012) and many other works of criticism and scholarship. Steven J. Mariconda is the author of many essays on H. P. Lovecraft, Ramsey Campbell, and other writers of weird fiction.

This book was released on 2019-02-14 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts of heaven and hell are among the oldest, most widespread religious beliefs in history. In Western literature, they are frequently embedded in stories of underworld explorations and celestial journeys--stories examining the nature of the universe, life on earth and the existence of the gods. The author analyzes tales of wonder in both ancient and medieval European literature. Other-worldly narratives appeared in literary contexts in the ancient world, including mythology, poetry and philosophical writings. In medieval times, they remained a popular form of literary expression. These stories are primarily religious in nature, describing fantastic worlds filled with miracles and supernatural beings.

Download or read book Horror Literature through History [2 volumes] written by Matt Cardin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-09-21 with total page 1065 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume set offers comprehensive coverage of horror literature that spans its deep history, dominant themes, significant works, and major authors, such as Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, and Anne Rice, as well as lesser-known horror writers. Many of today's horror story fans—who appreciate horror through movies, television, video games, graphic novels, and other forms—probably don't realize that horror literature is not only one of the most popular types of literature but one of the oldest. People have always been mesmerized by stories that speak to their deepest fears. Horror Literature through History shows 21st-century horror fans the literary sources of their favorite entertainment and the rich intrinsic value of horror literature in its own right. Through profiles of major authors, critical analyses of important works, and overview essays focused on horror during particular periods as well as on related issues such as religion, apocalypticism, social criticism, and gender, readers will discover the fascinating early roots and evolution of horror writings as well as the reciprocal influence of horror literature and horror cinema. This unique two-volume reference set provides wide coverage that is current and compelling to modern readers—who are of course also eager consumers of entertainment. In the first section, overview essays on horror during different historical periods situate works of horror literature within the social, cultural, historical, and intellectual currents of their respective eras, creating a seamless narrative of the genre's evolution from ancient times to the present. The second section demonstrates how otherwise unrelated works of horror have influenced each other, how horror subgenres have evolved, and how a broad range of topics within horror—such as ghosts, vampires, religion, and gender roles—have been handled across time. The set also provides alphabetically arranged reference entries on authors, works, and specialized topics that enable readers to zero in on information and concepts presented in the other sections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fact and fiction meet at the boundaries, the betwixt and between where transformations occur. This is the area of ambiguity where fiction and fact become endowed with meaning, and this is the area—where ambiguity, irony, and metaphor join forces—that Harold Scheub exposes in all its nuanced and evocative complexity in The Poem in the Story. In a career devoted to exploring the art of the African storyteller, Scheub has conducted some of the most interesting and provocative investigations into nonverbal aspects of storytelling, the complex relationship between artist and audience, and, most dramatically, the role played by poetry in storytelling. This book is his most daring effort yet, an unconventional work that searches out what makes a story artistically engaging and emotionally evocative, the metaphorical center that Scheub calls "the poem in the story." Drawing on extensive fieldwork in southern Africa and decades of experience as a researcher and teacher, Scheub develops an original approach—a blend of field notes, diary entries, photographs, and texts of stories and poems—that guides readers into a new way of viewing, even experiencing, meaning in a story. Though this work is largely focused on African storytelling, its universal applications emerge when Scheub brings the work of storytellers as different as Shakespeare and Faulkner into the discussion.
