Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For fans of body horror, Everett pens the freakiest metaphysical thriller you've never heard ofFrances Bethune is desperate to lose weight before her husband's return from India--in just two weeks. On the advice of a bad-breathed spirit, Frances undertakes a slenderizing séance. While she succeeds in her quest for thinness, she is horrified to discover that her discarded weight has taken on a new life of its own. Of this chilling, revolting tale, H.P. Lovecraft raved that Everett 'reaches singular heights of spiritual terror.'This new edition from Mandylion Press restores Everett's 1907 masterpiece. It features an original introduction written by Mandylion cofounder Madeline Porsella, as well as a glossary that provides visual, material and affective image footnotes.Henrietta Dorothy Everett (1851-1923) was born in Kent, England. Between 1896 and 1920, she published 22 books under the pen name Theo Douglas. She was an influential figure in the early days of science fiction and fantasy writing, and was cited in H.P. Lovecraft's extended 1927 essay 'Supernatural Horror in Literature.'.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Stoddard leaves little to the imagination in this startling New England bildungsroman about a strange girl and her even stranger sisterCassandra and Veronica Morgeson are wild girls. Adored by men, hated by women and feared by their parents--they break the mold. Veronica refuses to leave the family hearth or look at the ocean. Cassandra travels from one house to another around Massachusetts, breaking hearts and sending men to their deaths wherever she goes. She narrates it all in a bold voice that will surprise and shock even those most familiar with 19th-century literature. Henry James called The Morgesons 'a remarkable book by those who had the good fortune to come across it.' As with all of Mandylion's bespoke publications, this new edition of Stoddard's first novel includes a visual glossary that illuminates the social conventions and restrictions of the 19th century. Elizabeth Drew Barstow Stoddard (1823-1902) was the author of three novels, The Morgesons (1862), Two Men (1865) and Temple House (1867). These received mixed reviews and sold poorly in her lifetime, though her work received renewed interest at the end of her life. Her career underwent another critical reevaluation among feminist scholars in the 1970 and 1980s. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ettie Stettheimer bares all in Love Days, revealing her life through a fictionalized salon of avant-garde artistsMeet Ettie Stettheimer's alter ego: Susanna Moore, a ravishing Greek scholar. Susanna has no trouble deciphering arcane texts, but when it comes to matters of the heart, she's lost in translation. Her desire for love, knowledge and the company of great artists carries her from New York and Berlin to Capri and Paris, but she can only run from herself for so long. Together with her sisters Florine and Carrie, Ettie hobnobbed with all the big names of the avant-garde scene at the turn of the century--see if you can spot the characters she modeled after Elie Nadelman, Robert Delaunay and Marcel Duchamp.Ettie Stettheimer (1875-1955) graduated from Barnard College, received a master's degree at Columbia University and earned her PhD in philosophy at the University of Freiburg. In 1917, she made her literary debut under the pseudonym Henrie Waste, publishing Philosophy: An Autobiographical Fragment.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Choose a career or choose a family: Ward's 1877 novel exposes and eviscerates the false dichotomy of modern womanhoodAvis Dobell is a talented young painter on the rise, working to establish herself, when she meets professor Philip Ostrander. Though she has sworn to never marry and at first rejects her suitor, she relents after he returns wounded from the Civil War. Ultimately, Avis fills her days with thoughts of doilies and daycare instead of paints and palettes. Following Avis' struggles to balance her passion with her duties, Phelps' novel proves that artistic ambition is not extinguished by love, but slowly eroded by the constraints of 19th-century womanhood.Feminist and social reformer Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward (1844-1911) authored 57 books. She is perhaps best remembered for the trilogy of Spiritualist novels that she published in the wake of the Civil War--the first of which, The Gates Ajar, had sold 180,000 copies in the US and England by 1900.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Often compared to Huysmans' A Rebours, The Hill of Dreams is a meditation on alienation and the lure of the fantasticalFrom his earliest literary experimentation, Arthur Machen refused to sit in his own time, clawing his way back to a past inhabited by false gods and terrifying fairies. The Hill of Dreams thus performs a kind of reverse archeology. Instead of the writerly excavation of character development and world-building, Machen entombs his main character, Lucian Taylor, in his own mind, cutting him off from the living world of sensation. Lucian journeys 'all the long way from the known to the unknown,' into the ruins of an old Roman fort, imbued with the Celtic magic that stirred in the Welsh hills of Machen's childhood. From this idyll, the story becomes a classic künstlerroman, following Lucian to the gray streets of London where he succumbs to his worse nature. Written in 1897 but not published until 1907, the book was, in Machen's own estimation, his masterpiece. All Mandylion books come adorned in a translucent dust jacket that emphasizes the unique material qualities of the book.Arthur Machen (1863-1947) was born Caerleon, Wales. His most well-known works include The Great God Pan and Ornaments of Jade. He has influenced writers as diverse as H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Jorge Luis Borges and Sylvia Townsend Warner.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Religion, love and revolution collide in this swashbuckling saga of Risorgimento ItalySet in Italy during the Risorgimento, The Gadfly is a thrilling tale of betrayal and revolution. It follows the adventures and misadventures of a mysterious satirist, a hardworking lady radical and a Catholic cardinal with a dark secret. Published in 1897 by Irish writer Ethel Lilian Voynich (or ELV, as she preferred to be known), The Gadfly sold millions of copies in the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, though it has been largely forgotten in the English-speaking world--until now. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll smuggle guns over the border and, if you're anything like the Gadfly, you'll do it all with incomparable style. Mandylion Press' second run of The Gadfly includes a new preface by Mandylion cofounder Madeline Porsella and a visual glossary illustrating the world of the novel.Ethel Lilian (Boole) Voynich (1864-1960) was born in Cork, Ireland, and raised in Lancashire, England. Her peripatetic adult life was defined by passions for music and leftist politics. In 1902, she married Wilifrid Michael Voynich, a Polish revolutionary and antiquarian book dealer. She spent her final decades in New York City, where she worked in a music school and as a translator of Russian, Polish and French texts.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Oliver Wendell Holmes confronts humanity's original sin in this medical case study-cum-romanceElsie Venner is your typical teenage girl. But unlike her classmates at the Apollinean Female Institute, her mother was bitten by a rattlesnake while pregnant. Not girl, not yet a woman and also not quite human, Elsie must battle a conflicted nature while suffering the advances of lovers, teachers, doctors and ministers, all intent on conquering and curing her. Elsie Venner was one of three 'medicated novels' written by physician and author Oliver Wendell Holmes. In this work, he coined the phrase 'Boston Brahmin,' and dissected the eccentricities and hypocrisies of his local culture. Published after Darwin's On the Origin of Species and before Freud's Studies on Hysteria, Elsie Venner is a scientific mystery that undresses Puritanism and anticipates psychoanalysis. This Mandylion edition includes the publisher's signature visual glossary that illuminates the world of 19th-century society, science and medicine.Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-94) was an American physician, writer and public intellectual. He established a medical practice in Boston and served as a professor and dean at Harvard Medical School, while also cofounding the Atlantic Monthly, a magazine he named. His son, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., served as an associate justice of the US Supreme Court from 1902 to 1932. …
