Download or read book Strange and Secret Peoples written by Carole G. Silver and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-10-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teeming with creatures, both real and imagined, this encyclopedic study in cultural history illuminates the hidden web of connections between the Victorian fascination with fairies and their lore and the dominant preoccupations of Victorian culture at large. Carole Silver here draws on sources ranging from the anthropological, folkloric, and occult to the legal, historical, and medical. She is the first to anatomize a world peopled by strange beings who have infiltrated both the literary and visual masterpieces and the minor works of the writers and painters of that era. Examining the period of 1798 to 1923, Strange and Secret Peoples focuses not only on such popular literary figures as Charles Dickens and William Butler Yeats, but on writers as diverse as Thomas Carlyle, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Charlotte Mew; on artists as varied as mad Richard Dadd, Aubrey Beardsley, and Sir Joseph Noel Paton; and on artifacts ranging from fossil skulls to photographs and vases. Silver demonstrates how beautiful and monstrous creatures--fairies and swan maidens, goblins and dwarfs, cretins and changelings, elementals and pygmies--simultaneously peopled the Victorian imagination and inhabited nineteenth-century science and belief. Her book reveals the astonishing complexity and fertility of the Victorian consciousness: its modernity and antiquity, its desire to naturalize the supernatural, its pervasive eroticism fused with sexual anxiety, and its drive for racial and imperial dominion.

Book excerpt: The Banshee's Whisper initially takes place in 1769 and is the askew making of the Banshee, before the actual well known legend. This is when Andra McCumhail (the Banshee's created mortal name) is a beautiful woman of simplicity. Her husband accidentally kills their son Nathaniel while punishing him for not adhering to his wishes of studying his business and nothing more. She sacrifices him and herself to roam the world protecting children from her enemies: abusing parents. This is a PRE-Banshee legend whereas the Banshee is forged with an altruistic purpose: fighting for abused children. This mission melds with unforeseen malevolence: The Banshee kidnaps children to save them from their abusing parents, but becomes content in holding them against their will for eternity.The story then fast-forwards to "today", where our main character, Bobby Henderson, becomes one of these retrieved children. Once Bobby realizes his "rescuer" has killed his parents and intends on keeping him in her dimension forever, he and two victims, Franz and Steve, escape from the Banshee's dimension, but not without the angry Banshee hot on their tale! They go to Bobby's schoolteacher, Lana Wang, who secretly is a very apt Wiccan, for help. Lana sets a trap for the Banshee to attempt to break the curse of the Banshee and save Andra McCumhail. An exciting magical battle occurs whereas the Banshee overcomes the Wiccan, but the children win the battle saving the day because the Banshee is only allotted one hour in this world or she will turn back to her natural aged self (300 years old!). The Banshee Whisper contains six-foot snakes, a battling Wiccan schoolteacher, dimensional travel, adventure, camaraderie, a lot of magical events and comedy.There are presently three finished parts of the Midnight Phantom series: Part I - The Banshee's Whisper Part II - The Dragon FlutePart III - Lilith Anacrusis and the Vampire Ruby Part IV - Jake and the Knothole (is in the making)The entire series combines mythological, old and modern magic.

After the Dark Man initiates a move that destabilizes the shaky balance of good and evil in the Dark Lands, Webb realizes the only resolution may lie within a shadowy region known to few and traversed by even less. But does the cryptic Not-Where hide the source of tribulation or is it a place to release more insidious forces? As the paths of Webb, Sundown, and Raven surreptitiously intertwine, they realize too late that despite their caution and steadfastness, destiny cannot be tempered as new evils are unleashed, secrets are revealed, and a vast army rises. Now only time will tell if they can stop the Dark Man from escaping his otherworldly prison.
