Book The House by the Churchyard

Download or read book The House by the Churchyard written by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foremost teller of scary stories in his day and a profound influence on both the novelists and filmmakers of the 20th century, Anglo-Irish author JOSEPH THOMAS SHERIDAN LE FANU (18141873) has, sadly, fallen out of scholarly and popular favor, and unfairly so. To this day, contemporary readers who happen across his works praise his talent for weaving a tense literary atmosphere tinged by the supernatural and bolstered by hints of ambiguous magic. Though his best-known works were horror tales, Le Fanus first novels were historical in nature. The House by the Churchyard, originally published in 1863, bridges the authors early work and his later experiments in Gothic horror, and is said to have inspired James Joyces Finnegans Wake. A rambling tale of the charming Irish town of Chapelizod in 1767, it sees men of the Royal Irish Artillery stationed in the village and disrupting the quiet life there... though the brooding Mr. Mervyn and his coffin and the mysterious newcomer Mr. Dangerfield lend elements of the unknown as well. With a series of new editions of Le Fanus works, Cosimo is proud to reintroduce modern book lovers to the writings of the early master of suspense fiction who pioneered the concept of psychological horror.

Book excerpt: The House by the Churchyard is a novel by Sheridan Le Fanu published in 1863 that combines elements of the mystery novel and the historical novel. Set in the village of Chapelizod, near Dublin, in the 1760s the story opens with the accidental disinterment of an old skull in the churchyard, and an eerie late-night funeral.

Book In the Shadow of St  Paul s Cathedral

Download or read book In the Shadow of St Paul s Cathedral written by Margaret Willes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary story of St. Paul's Churchyard--the area of London that was a center of social and intellectual life for more than a millennium St. Paul's Cathedral stands at the heart of London, an enduring symbol of the city. Less well known is the neighborhood at its base that hummed with life for over a thousand years, becoming a theater for debate and protest, knowledge and gossip. For the first time Margaret Willes tells the full story of the area. She explores the dramatic religious debates at Paul's Cross, the bookshops where Shakespeare came in search of inspiration, and the theater where boy actors performed plays by leading dramatists. After the Great Fire of 1666, the Churchyard became the center of the English literary world, its bookshops nestling among establishments offering luxury goods. This remarkable community came to an abrupt end with the Blitz. First the soaring spire of Old St. Paul's and then Wren's splendid Baroque dome had dominated the area, but now the vibrant secular society that had lived in their shadow was no more.

Book Capers in the Churchyard

Download or read book Capers in the Churchyard written by Lee Hall and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book'¿¿s unusual title recalls a six-year campaign to end the breeding of guinea pigs at an English farm; the cover depicts the churchyard where the body of the guinea pig farmer's mother-in-law was stolen during a pressure campaign. Lee Hall takes militancy as a starting point to assess a movement that is alternately coercive or co-opted (through organizations that tout humane farming advancements). Either way, the root problem is sidestepped: Militancy doesn'¿¿t address demand, and handling reform doesn'¿¿t slow the expansion of agribusiness that displaces nature (witness wild horses being rounded up and removed from land desired by ranchers). Rather than focusing on pain -- a key survival mechanism that industrialists would gladly breed out of animals -- this book presses the question of whether animals should be used at all. In the process, various advocacy styles are assessed for their impact on society, activists themselves, and the law. Psychologist Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson offers a foreword commending Hall for advancing animal-rights thinking, insisting that effective advocacy does not force change, but shifts the mental ground people stand on, inspires epiphany, and moves things closer to how they ought to be.The book's call -- despite, as reviewer Eric Prescott writes, the difficulty some may have in heeding it -- could focus a scattered and divided population of advocates to effectively drive a vital mission for the future of Earth'¿¿s conscious life.
