James. His Visiting Professorship in Gothic Literature - which, at thirty-one, he had done well to achieve - was imposing a more considerable burden than such an esteemed position would have done in the days of the Great Man.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCambridge, moreover, had proved to be no longer the tranquil realm of cyclists and scholars, but a vulgar, traffic-ravaged den of \u003ci\u003enouveau riche\u003c\/i\u003e iniquity. It was a difficult and pricy place to find a property commensurate with his status, not to speak of his startlingly meagre salary, which scarcely matched that of a junior professor back at his \u003ci\u003ealma mater\u003c\/i\u003e in New Hampshire. He had settled for a suite of draughty rooms in College, which certainly showed little change since Dr James had read his candlelit tales.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second edition of \u003ci\u003eA Certain Slant of Light\u003c\/i\u003e, first published by Sarob Press thirteen years ago, has been expanded to include extra stories that broadly embrace the tradition of the antiquarian tale associated with M.R. James. They occur in a variety of locations, from ancient village churches to a Norwegian country estate, from a Cambridgeshire manor house to a lonesome Hebridean isle, as well as other places where the author has encountered an atmosphere of the uncanny.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Bell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3912357137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783912357134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zagava Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.65d","brand":"Peter Bell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440734482687,"sku":"9783912357134","price":30.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b59d35a-4aad-46a7-a3f3-a2ca48c8d81f.jpg?v=1777184457","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-certain-slant-of-light-peter-bell-9783912357134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
