{"product_id":"vision-and-vacancy-james-walton-9781904558781","title":"Vision and Vacancy: The Fictions of J.S. Le Fanu","description":"Underlying the melodrama and moralism, the orthodoxy and mysticism of Uncle Silas, W. J. Mc Cormack has discovered a 'sinister vacancy from which authority has withdrawn'. The remark might be applied to the whole body of Sheridan Le Fanu's fiction. \"Vision and Vacancy\" follows the course of his attraction to the void, and his resistance to it, from the beginning to the end of his career. By placing his work within the appropriate contexts of early apparition narrative and modern ghost story, English and Continental novel, Walton's study provides not only the most thorough account of the richness of his techniques but shows how cosmopolitan influences were an inescapable condition of his (Anglo-) Irishness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Walton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 190455878X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781904558781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University College Dublin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.15h x 6.39w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2007","brand":"James Walton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519592607999,"sku":"9781904558781","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_77fdfe19-9db6-4b5e-8d9c-745dafc41cbc.jpg?v=1778737810","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vision-and-vacancy-james-walton-9781904558781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
