M.P. Shiel: The Middle Years 1897-1923

Harold Billings

4.9/5 (22053 ratings)

Description:The first volume of this biography of the British fantasist M. P. Shiel ("His Early Years") described his West Indian ancestry, his beautiful birthplace -- that slumbering sulfur monster Montserrat -- and those years that led him to England in 1885 and the beginnings of his career there as a young school teacher and author. This second volume ("The Middle Years: 1897-1923") selects a few facts from the early years, and with fresh information, more fully develops Shiel's career as an author of serial fiction, supernatural short stories, and prophetic novels by which he is recalled today. Access to extensive correspondence from Shiel's personal archives, from family records of persons closely associated with him, and the archives of his publishers and literary agents have provided the basis for a deeper look into this man whose publisher, Grant Richards, described as "extraordinarily clever and a little mad." His wild imagination as an author, several deeply human love affairs, a supremely intense ego, a revealed decadence, mark this period in his life and are shaped in this biography. The rich detail in the present volume answers questions that have existed for over a hundred years, surprising, not always pleasant.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
