Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This strongly moralistic and didactic tale narrates the seduction and murder of the innocent Josephine by the libertine Lord Albert. Written in 1812 by Sarah Wilkinson and published by Ann Lemoine, the chapbook is an adaptation of the ballad 'Alonzo the Brave, and Fair Imogine' by Matthew Lewis which originally appeared in The Monk in 1796. The ballad relates the woeful tale of Imogine, who promises fidelity to Alonzo, but falls in love with a wealthy baron. Alonzo, who has perished in battle, comes to reclaim his 'bride' at her wedding, dragging her to hell for breaking her promise. Wilkinson's adaptation weaves a supernatural tale with didacticism creating a moralistic thriller.An excellent example of 'Trade' Gothic, Albert of Werdendorff illustrates the transformation and adaptation of the 'canonical' Gothic during the early nineteenth century.

Book Edinburgh Companion to Gothic and the Arts

Download or read book Edinburgh Companion to Gothic and the Arts written by David Punter and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gothic is a contested and complicated phenomenon, extending over many centuries and across all the arts. In The Edinburgh Companion to the Gothic and the Arts, the range of essays run from medieval architecture and design to contemporary gaming and internet fiction; from classical painting to the modern novel; from ballet and dance to contemporary Goth music. The contributors include many of the best-known critics of the Gothic (e.g., Hogle, Punter, Spooner, Bruhm) as well as newer names such as Kirk and Round. The editor has put all these contributors in touch with each other in the preparation of their essays in order to ensure the maximum benefit to the reader by producing a well-integrated book which will prove much more than a collection of disparate essays, but rather a distinctive contribution to a field.

Book Gothic Chapbooks  Bluebooks and Shilling Shockers  17971830

Download or read book Gothic Chapbooks Bluebooks and Shilling Shockers 17971830 written by Franz J. Potter and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2021-01-15 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study breaks new ground surveying the origins of the Gothic chapbook, its publishers and authors, in order to establish conclusively the impact these pamphlets had on the development of the Gothic genre. Considered the illegitimate offspring of the Gothic novel, the lowly chapbook flooded the market in the late eighteenth century, creating a separate and distinct secondary market for tales of terror. The trade was driven by a handful of individuals who were booksellers and dealers, circulating library proprietors, stationers, and small publishers – what they produced were more than four hundred chapbooks, bluebooks and shilling shockers containing Gothic tales from magazines, redactions of popular novels, extractions of entire inset tales, and original tales of terror. This book responds to the urgent and pressing need to contextualise the Gothic chapbook in ascertaining a more concise and comprehensive view of the entire Gothic genre.
