Aprašymas

A haunting collection of short stories of the living and the dead by the Victorian Era Scottish author of Hester and Miss Marjoribanks.

Margaret Oliphant's stories "of the seen and the unseen" are now considered some of the most remarkable explorations of the supernatural to appear in Victorian times. A prolific novelist, Oliphant said she could produce her supernatural tales "only when they came to me." And indeed, they carry the eerie power of a visitation.

Twilight uncertainties mingle with philosophical depth in 'The Library Window'; an extraordinary vision of purgatory is presented as modern city life mixed with metaphysical terror in 'The Land of Darkness'; and the visitations come en masse in A Beleaguered City, Oliphant's short novel of the returning dead.

Like the old Scottish ballads where the dead and the living rub shoulders, these remarkable tales are among Oliphant's finest work, mixing the subtlety of Henry James with the uncanny strangeness of George MacDonald or David Lindsay.

This edition of A Beleaguered City and Other Tales . . . is edited and introduced by Jenni Calder.
