An unusual grouping of writers, this insightful study includes some, like Henry James, who are indisputably leaders of the "canon" regardless of genre, and others, like Algernon Blackwood, who wrote almost exclusively in the supernatural; all, however, were clearly masters of this genre. The seven chapters, respectively on J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Henry James, M. R. James, Algernon Blackwood, Arthur Machen, Walter de la Mare, and Marjorie Bowen, each examine plot, character, mood, and setting in a traditional sense, sparked by personal observations and unique comparisons. Each is preceded by a biographical sketch and documented by bibliography and notes. For some, these chapters may be the fullest accounts ever published. All demonstrate the happy combination of a scholar's insights and a fan's enthusiasm.

Edward Thomas--professional author, essayist, and critic--was thirty-nine when he was killed at the Arras offensive in 1917. Six months later his first collection of poems was published and his literary reputation secured. These Selected Letters--many addressed to such luminaries as Robert Frost, Walter de la Mare, and Eleanor Farjeon--present a uniquely vivid portrait of his life, from his time as an undergraduate at Oxford through his final days at the front.
