Book Synopsis Vathek with The Episodes of Vathek by : William Beckford
Download or read book Vathek with The Episodes of Vathek written by William Beckford and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2001-05-14 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Beckford’s Vathek is a touchstone of eighteenth-century Orientalism and of the Gothic novel. Beckford’s later work, The Episodes of Vathek, shares Vathek’s irreverent and decadent style, and an edition that unites the two has long been overdue. The Broadview edition includes a newly discovered early version of the first episode, never before in print, that centres on male-male love, as well as the previously published version that was re-written by Beckford as a heterosexual narrative. Based on the 1823 edition—the last one edited by the author himself—the Broadview Edition also introduces The Episodes in the order Beckford planned, and incorporates his final corrections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Episodes of Vathek Hen I was collecting documents for The Life and Letters of William Beckford, of Fonthill, 1 was so fortunate as to obtain permission from the Duke of Hamilton, a collateral descendant of the author of Vathek, to examine the Beckford papers pre served at Hamilton Palace. In the two large chests containing these papers (never before examined by any literary man) I found, besides much important material for the biography, some large bundles of manuscripts. These manuscripts, written in French, were the unpublished Episodes of Beckford's famous Oriental tale, Vathek, which were supposed to have been lost. Whatever value may be set upon the Episodes, there can be no doubt that the discovery, or rather recovery, of them was peculiarly interesting; and I regarded myself as fortunate when the Duke of Hamilton generously acceded to my request to be allowed to introduce them to the public. The two shorter stories have been printed in the original French in The English Review (december 1909; August, September and now for the first time the three Episodes appear in an English translation by Sir Frank T. Marzials, C.D. II To the Duke of Hamilton I am deeply indebted for permission to publish the tales; and I am not less the debtor of Sir Frank T. Marzials, who very kindly presented me with his admirable translation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Fonthill Recovered by : Caroline Dakers
Download or read book Fonthill Recovered written by Caroline Dakers and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fonthill, in Wiltshire, is traditionally associated with the writer and collector William Beckford who built his Gothic fantasy house called Fonthill Abbey at the end of the eighteenth century. The collapse of the Abbey’s tower in 1825 transformed the name Fonthill into a symbol for overarching ambition and folly, a sublime ruin. Fonthill is, however, much more than the story of one man’s excesses. Beckford’s Abbey is only one of several important houses to be built on the estate since the early sixteenth century, all of them eventually consumed by fire or deliberately demolished, and all of them oddly forgotten by historians. Little now remains: a tower, a stable block, a kitchen range, some dressed stone, an indentation in a field. Fonthill Recovered draws on histories of art and architecture, politics and economics to explore the rich cultural history of this famous Wiltshire estate. The first half of the book traces the occupation of Fonthill from the Bronze Age to the twenty-first century. Some of the owners surpassed Beckford in terms of their wealth, their collections, their political power and even, in one case, their sexual misdemeanours. They include Charles I’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the richest commoner in the nineteenth century. The second half of the book consists of essays on specific topics, filling out such crucial areas as the complex history of the designed landscape, the sources of the Beckfords’ wealth and their collections, and one essay that features the most recent appearance of the Abbey in a video game.

Book excerpt: “A refreshing and unique coming-of-age story...a beautiful and necessary meditation on finding strength in one’s culture.” —Entertainment Weekly, Top Pick of the Month “A YA marvel that will shock breath into your lungs. If you loved The Wrath and the Dawn and Children of Blood and Bone, Mirage will captivate you.” —The Christian Science Monitor “This debut fantasy has what it takes to be the next big thing in sci-fi/fantasy.” —SLJ, starred review “Immersive, captivating.” —ALA Booklist, starred review In a world dominated by the brutal Vathek empire, eighteen-year-old Amani is a dreamer. She dreams of what life was like before the occupation; she dreams of writing poetry like the old-world poems she adores; she dreams of receiving a sign from Dihya that one day, she, too, will have adventure, and travel beyond her isolated home. But when adventure comes for Amani, it is not what she expects: she is kidnapped by the regime and taken in secret to the royal palace, where she discovers that she is nearly identical to the cruel half-Vathek Princess Maram. The princess is so hated by her conquered people that she requires a body double, someone to appear in public as Maram, ready to die in her place. As Amani is forced into her new role, she can’t help but enjoy the palace’s beauty—and her time with the princess’ fiancé, Idris. But the glitter of the royal court belies a world of violence and fear. If Amani ever wishes to see her family again, she must play the princess to perfection...because one wrong move could lead to her death.
