Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'The old woman opened the door, and the next moment I was in the presence of Uncle Silas.'In Victorian Derbyshire, 17 year old orphan and heiress Maud Ruthyn is sent to live at the claustrophobic Bartram-Haugh house with her mysterious Uncle Silas.

Sinister schemes and preternatural events unfold as Silas, his son, and a malevolent governess plot against Maud and her fortune.Uncle Silas has been hailed by contemporaries and modern critics alike as one of the finest works of sensation fiction. With elements of tragic romance, horror, and psychological thriller, Uncle Silas shows Le Fanu at the height of his powers. With an introduction from Claire Connolly, this edition places the novel in its broadest context and unpicks the layers of Celtic, Christian, and mystic influence behind Le Fanu's best known work.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

Recenzii
I would recommend for professors of British literature to assign this work in undergraduate and graduate classes without hesitation. It will not be an easy read, but each of them will come away with unique things to write about. This also means that this book is suitable for libraries of all types and sizes, so that some of the poorer students can access some free copies.
