Description
Uncle Silas by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a gothic sensation novel that explores themes of family, morality, and the supernatural. In this reformed Christian uncle's presence, 17-year-old orphan Maud Ruthyn finds herself trapped in a claustrophobic world of sinister schemes and preternatural events. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, Uncle Silas is a masterful blend of tragic romance, horror, and psychological thriller. With its introduction by Claire Connolly, this edition provides valuable context and insight into Le Fanu's work, revealing the complex layers of Celtic, Christian, and mystic influence that underpin his writing. This Oxford World's Classics edition offers an affordable and authoritative text, accompanied by expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies for further study.
