The Green Book: Writings on Irish Gothic, Supernatural and Fantastic Literature

0/5 ( ratings)

This issue, which is truly a return to Bartram-Haugh, starts with a selection of contemporary reviews of Uncle Silas — an attempt to gauge public reaction as they read the novel for the first time. By the mid-nineteenth century, Uncle Silas was already considered a classic. So we also have introductions to two popular editions by confirmed admirers of Le Fanu’s work: M.R. James’s for Oxford University Press’s World’s Classics series and Lady Longford’s for Penguin’s Mystery & Crime series . Rounding out these commentaries — spanning three centuries! — are fresh impressions from Irish novelist Jarlath Gregory, who, like readers in the summer of 1864, has only recently read Uncle Silas for the first time.

Language: English

Pages: 108
