Description: | Select Guide Rating This volume explores the novels and short stories of the popular author Richard Marsh through a range of critical lenses. An exemplary figure of the New Grub Street, Marsh was an important presence within fin-de-siècle literary culture, whose middlebrow genre fiction simultaneously reinforces and challenges the dominant discourses of the period. -- . This collection of essays questions our assumptions about the fin de siècle by exploring the fiction of Richard Marsh (1857–1915), one of the most prolific and popular authors of the period, whose bestselling Gothic novel The Beetle: A Mystery (1897) outsold Bram Stoker’s Dracula for several decades. |
