Product Description
Poetry. "Gavin Selerie weaves together richly colored threads taken from Gothic storytelling, Irish politics and literature, feminist heroic history and the fascinating development of popular theatre. His dazzling kaleidoscope uses a varied sequence of verse forms: the effect is oral, brash, sparky, and yet grounded in a deep knowledge and love of the highest poetic tradition. LE FANU'S GHOST reveals, in a most original way, the wonderful cross-pollination of high and low, notorious and neglected, oral and literary, Gaelic and Faery lore, Ireland and England, and will give great pleasure to readers"-Marina Warner. "Selerie's nonfictional-fictional genealogical poetic quest into the life, friends, and relations of the Anglo-Irish author of Gothic thrillers, such as Carmilla and Uncle Silas, sometimes recalls the procedures of Melville in Moby-Dick, particularly the extracts supplied by a Sub-Sub-Librarian. Every contingent sound-bite of information has been arranged to perfection"-Susan Howe.
