Concerning Lafcadio Hearn
Author: George Milbry Gould
Publisher: Philadelphia : G. W. Jacobs
ISBN:
Category : Literature
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) wrote vivid accounts about life in New Orleans, the West Indies, and Japan. This appreciative 1908 biography discusses his birth to an Irish father and Greek mother, his work and travels, and the impact of poor eyesight on this poet of myopia. "Gould writes, Of Lafcadio Hearn there has been, and will be, no excuse for any biography whatever. A properly edited volume of his letters, and development of his imaginative power and literary character are, and still remain, most desirable."

Japanese Ghost Stories
Author: Lafcadio Hearn
Publisher: Penguin UK
ISBN: 0241381282
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
The dead wreak revenge on the living, paintings come alive, spectral brides possess mortal men and a priest devours human flesh in these chilling Japanese ghost stories retold by a master of the supernatural. Lafcadio Hearn drew on the phantoms and ghouls of traditional Japanese folklore - including the headless 'rokuro-kubi', the monstrous goblins 'jikininki' or the faceless 'mujina' who stalk lonely neighbourhoods - and infused them with his own memories of his haunted childhood in nineteenth-century Ireland to create these terrifying tales of striking and eerie power. Today they are regarded in Japan as classics in their own right. Edited with an introduction by Paul Murray

Lafcadio Hearn's America
Author: Lafcadio Hearn
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 9780813170466
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
The American essays of renowned writer Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) artistically chronicle the robust urban life of Cincinnati and New Orleans. Hearn is one of the few chroniclers of urban American life in the nineteenth century, and much of this material has not been widely available since the 1950s. Lafcadio Hearn's America collects Hearn's stories of vagabonds, river people, mystics, criminals, and some of the earliest accounts available of black and ethnic urban folklife in America. He was a frequently consulted expert on America during his years in Japan, and these editorials reflect on the problems and possibilities of American life as the country entered its greatest century. Hearn’s work, which reflects an America that is less “melting pot” than a varied, spicy, and often exotic gumbo, provide essential background for the study of America’s first steps away from its agrarian beginnings.
