This comprehensive study delves into the rich tapestry of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's (1814-73) fiction, exploring its original material and cultural contexts within the vibrant early-to-mid Victorian period in Ireland. Le Fanu's longstanding association with the esteemed Dublin University Magazine, a prominent literary and political publication, assumes a pivotal role in examining his literary oeuvre. Moreover, his fiction is viewed as part of a broader surge of supernatural, historical, and antiquarian activity among Irish Protestants in the aftermath of the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland (1801). The author delves into the intricate details of Le Fanu's writing and rewriting practices, a process that has sparked considerable confusion and frustration among scholars. By comparing posthumous collections of his work with their original publications, the book underscores the significance of these material and cultural contexts in understanding Le Fanu's artistic achievements. Furthermore, this study offers fresh and insightful critical readings of some of Le Fanu's most celebrated fiction, while also shedding light on his lesser-known but equally remarkable works through recontextualization. By delving into the intricate interplay between Le Fanu's writing and the social, political, and cultural milieu of his time, this book provides a deeper appreciation of his literary legacy and its enduring impact on the world of literature.
