.The Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story (Oxford World's Classics) by: Horace Walpole April 02, 1998 This review refers to the Oxford World's Classics edition, edited by WS Lewis, with a 26-page introduction and eight pages of endnotes by EJ Clery. There is a select bibliography and a chronology of the author, Horace Walpole. Importantly, the book includes both the first and second editions' title-pages and prefaces. The first edition, "The Castle of Otranto: A Story, translated by William Marshal", was published in December 1764 (but marked 1765 on the title-page). It's preface tried - and succeeded for awhile - to give the impression that the tale had been "found in the library of an ancient catholic family in the north of England" and had been "printed at Naples ... in the year 1529. ... The style is the purest Italian." Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on The Castle of Otranto: A Gothic Story (Oxford World's Classics) |

If you do not like horror, you probably won't like the book very much at all. The story opens in the frozen Arctic wastes during an sea-going expedition to find a passage through the ice to the East. Aboard the ship after a strange meeting, Frankenstein tells his story. As a young man he wanted to make a splash in the sciences, and invented a way to create life. Having done so, he became estranged ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Four Gothic Novels: "Castle of Otranto", "Vathek", "The Monk", "Frankenstein" (World's Classics) |
