Product Description

"Tales of Wonder" is an eclectic collection of stories and ballads gathered by an early master of Gothic horror. In the late eighteenth century, Matthew Gregory 'Monk' Lewis, a notorious author of lurid Gothic novels and plays, began to gather this collection of horror ballads. Including original and traditional works, translations and adaptations, and even parodies of the Gothic, this 'hobgoblin repast', as Lewis called it, brings together a fascinating assortment of works. In addition to thirty-two ballads by Lewis, the young Walter Scott, William Taylor, and others, this edition provides eight poems by Robert Southey. Appendices include selections from "Tales of Terror" (1801), a text long intertwined with Lewis' collection; selections from Scott's "Apology for the Tales of Terror" (1799); and parodies and reviews of Lewis' particular brand of Gothic poetry. This is the only edition available.
