Book Description
Mario Paz has, in the Romantic Agony, acutely analyzed the effect of the traditions of Byron and De Sade upon poets and painters from 1800 to 1900. It is the analysis of a mood in literature. The mood may ve been transient, but it was widespread, and it was expressed in dreams of "luxurious cruelties," "fatal women," corpse-passions, and the sinful agonies of delight. Professo Praz has described the whole Romantic literature under one of its most characteristic aspects, that of erotic sensibility.

Book Description
Seconde partie de la monographie d'Olivier Millagou, elle fait suite à l'ouvrage publiée en 2010 par Monografik éditions. Renversant les mêmes codes graphiques, ce nouvel opus s'ouvre sur un texte d'Alexandre Desson puis remonte le fil du temps et des projets de l'artiste jusque-là où le premier s'était arrêté. Basé sur la même économie de moyens -- ou pourrait-on dire « écologie de moyens » -- ce livre se présente à nouveau sans couverture, imprimé localement en petit nombre sur un papier répondant aux meilleures normes environnementales. Un projet éditorial en adéquation avec l'œuvre d'Olivier Millagou qui tend vers une sobriété de sa pratique, et des matériaux qu'il exploite, révélant l'engagement politique au cœur de sa démarche.

The Gothic Quest - A History of the Gothic Novel
Author: Montague Summers
Publisher: Read Books Ltd
ISBN: 1447499085
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
“The Gothic Quest - A History of the Gothic Novel” is a 1938 treatise by Montague Summers on the subject of the Gothic novel, looking at its origins, evolution, and role in contemporary literature. Augustus Montague Summers (1880 – 1948) was an English clergyman and author most famous for his studies on vampires, witches and werewolves—all of which he believed to be very much real. He also wrote the first English translation of the infamous 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the “Malleus Maleficarum”, in 1928. Contents include: “The Romantic Feeling”, “Notes to Chapter I”, “The Publishers and the Circulating Libraries”, “Notes to Chapter II”, “Influences from Abroad”, “Notes to Chapter III”, “Historical Gothic”, “Notes to Chapters IV”, “Matthew Gregory Lewis”, etc. Other notable works by this author include: “A Popular History of Witchcraft” (1937), “Witchcraft and Black Magic” (1946), and “The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism” (1947). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
