Paperback. Condition: New. Anthony Trollope's novels and stories entertain while vividly bringing the Victorian era to life. His deep empathy for the underdog led him to subvert conventions, exploring the lives of women, as well as men, and choosing as heroes and heroines outsiders who would be viewed with suspicion by his readers. Trollope's profound insight to human nature made him the first novelist in English to develop three dimensional characters and to create the novel sequence. This literary companion introduces readers to his life and work. A-to-Z entries explore Trollope's short story collections, and nonfiction contributions, as well as important themes in the works. This companion also includes fresh voices of contributors that bring in their contemporary insights to bear on Trollope's achievements, facilitating the understanding of Trollope's perspectives in relation to feminism, queer studies, and transnationalism.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Phineas at Bay is at once an entertaining romp and a serious inquiry into how Victorian problems are also our own. It is a pleasure to read."-Nicholas Birns, author of Understanding Anthony Powell. Set in 1890s England, Phineas at Bay picks up where Anthony Trollope's Palliser series left off: now two decades after the unconventional marriage of Phineas Finn, an Irish Catholic, to the Viennese Jewish widow Marie "Madame Max" Goesler. Phineas has become an almost entirely independent member of Parliament, nominally belonging to the Liberal Party. But his independence has come at a cost. Having made no political gains, his own party no longer takes him seriously. But an awakening of his political and social conscience leads him to revitalize his political activism and become involved in the newly forming Labor Party. Meanwhile the rivalry between Socialist Jack Chiltern and the newest member of Parliament, Savrola Vavasor, the two suitors of Phineas's orphaned niece, Clarissa Riley, draws Phineas into becoming the maitre d'arms at a violent duel. And alongside all the other action, the beautiful Lady Elizabeth Eustace adds to the drama with her shady past and her entanglements with Jack and her ex-husband, a clergyman with a dark reputation of his own. Scholar and lawyer John F. Wirenius sets the Victorian-era author's pointed satire loose on today's political and social excesses, creating a novel that can be read alone or in conjunction with Trollope's novels. Sequel to Anthony Trollope's Palliser novels. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Montague Summers (1880-1948) collected nightmarish legends from around the world that have become movie and fiction fodder--vampires, the werewolf, and witchcraft. Having unearthed many of the original beliefs and folkways, Summers maintained that each of these occult entities genuinely existed, and argued for their reality as a real-life danger. Portions of the lore Summers collected in his books would be used in silent cinema, the Universal horror films, and later films such as The Vampire Lovers (1970), becoming a part of Hammer Films' "Carmilla" cycle. And the influence continues today in films such as Renfield, Abigail, The Last Voyage of the Demeter and even the 2024 remake of Salem's Lot. Summers's writings also informed Dark Shadows in its various incarnations from the 1960s onward. This first biography of the clergyman and curator of the macabre is a thoroughly illustrated celebration of his life, work, and lasting influence on horror cinema. This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Montague Summers (1880-1948) collected real-life nightmares from around the world--the legends that have over the decades become movie and fiction fodder--vampires, the werewolf, and witchcraft. Summers maintained that each of these genuinely existed, and argued for the reality of these monstrosities as a real-life danger. Portions of the lore Summers found and included in his books on the occult and the supernatural would later be used in films from the silent era, through the Universal horror films, and would make their way into horror films such as The Vampire Lovers (1970), becoming a part of Hammer horror films 'Carmilla' cycle, and extending into the present, such as Renfield, Abigail, The Last Voyage of the Demeter and even the new remake of Salem's Lot. Summers's writing on vampires and witchcraft also have found their way into popular culture, as demonstrated by Dark Shadows (1966-1971) and its various incarnations from the 1970s films through reboots in 1991, 2004, and a feature film in 2012. Summers gives his readers a special look at the legends themselves, having unearthed many of the original beliefs and folkways about how to deal with vampires, witches, and other occult entities. This first biography of the clergyman and curator of the macabre is a thoroughly illustrated celebration of his life, work, and lasting influence on horror cinema.…
