CONCEPT
First, I’ve linked to Xylo, the Wolf Baron, better known to some of you as Michael. He’s an old friend and fellow Mathewsnic (resident of Mathews House, Burton-Judson dorm), and I would’ve linked to him a long time ago, except I didn’t have the link.
This isn’t part of my “October series” of links, though, which I will continue.
Second, over the next couple weeks, I’m posting the entirety of the text of The Castle of Otranto by Horace Warpole, which I read two days ago for Euphemism research. The novella is considered the first work written in the genre of “Gothic literature,” and I found it very enjoyable… sometimes with a sense of irony and without.
Today is a bit of a freebie: I’ll only post the Forward and Dedication. The story is 5 chapters long, and about 35,000 words.
A true fanatic can labor through The Mysteries of Udolpho, by Ann Radcliffe, with me…
