Beschreibung

All Souls' Night gathers Hugh Walpole's supernatural tales into a chamber of quiet terrors, where domestic interiors, social rituals, and apparently civilized lives are disturbed by visitations of guilt, obsession, and the uncanny. Its prose is lucid, theatrical, and psychologically alert: Walpole prefers atmosphere and moral pressure to mere sensation. Written within the rich interwar tradition of the English ghost story, the book stands near M. R. James, E. F. Benson, and Walter de la Mare, yet its fears are often emotional before they are spectral. Walpole, born in New Zealand in 1884 and educated in England, became one of the most widely read British novelists of his generation. His experiences in Russia during the First World War, his friendships with Henry James and other literary figures, and his fascination with Dickensian character and melodrama all shaped his fiction. Behind his public success lay a persistent attraction to loneliness, secrecy, and the pressures of social performance. This volume is recommended to readers who value ghost stories with literary polish and psychological depth. All Souls' Night rewards slow reading, offering not shocks alone but the more durable unease of lives haunted by what they cannot confess.

Über den Autor

Hugh Walpole (1884-1941) was an English novelist. He was the son of an Anglican clergyman, intended for a career in the church but drawn instead to writing. Among those who encouraged him were the authors Henry James and Arnold Bennett. His skill at scene-setting and vivid plots, as well as his high profile as a lecturer, brought him a large readership in the United Kingdom and North America. He was a best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s but has been largely neglected since his death.
