Longsword: Earl of Salisbury, Paperback - Thomas Leland

Detalii:

Deaths but a Path that must be trod, / If Man woud ever pass to God - Thomas ParnellLongsword, Earl of Salisbury, by eighteenth century Dublin-born clergyman Thomas Leland, is a fast-paced historical romance of medieval menace and high excitement. Set in the early years of the thirteenth century, it features a blend of real and created characters in a mêlée of intrigue, corruption, lust, and revenge. In part a metaphor for the tug-of-war between the sexes, Longsword is the definitive precursor to the Gothic novel; both in trappings and in style, it provides vital elements of prototype for Walpoles The Castle of Otranto and Lewiss The Monk. Through Longsword, Leland emerges as a forerunner of fellow Dublin clergyman Charles Robert Maturin, author of Melmoth the Wanderer. This 250th anniversary edition is edited and introduced by Albert Power.Book specifications:Dimensions: 198 x 128Author: Thomas LelandCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 2Pages: 212Language: EnglishPublisher: Swan River PressWeight: 213 g
