Of literature ancient and modern, Lady Dilke was an excellent judge, being keenly interested in philosophy as well as the history of art. Her books 'The Shrine of Death, and other Stories' (1886), 'The Shrine of Love, and other Stories' (1891), which are now seldom met with, were studies in the difficult vein of the prose fabulist, occasionally vague in sentiment and landscape, but effective in style. She had intended to republish and add to them. She was a great connoisseur of old books, particularly Elzevirs, Aldines, and early works of the Paris and Lyons presses, which she treasured with all the enthusiasm of a collector. "Ah, les livres, ils nous débordent, ils nous étouffent; nous périssons par les livres," was the complaint of Daudet, and so it is with many authors to-day who write masterly monographs, and neglect everything and everybody else. But there are some few rare spirits whose expressive sympathy and help for others lose nothing by their absorption in the study of the specialist, for whom the world is better, whose lives are more effective than their books, finer but less familiar aspects of their endowments. Of such was Lady Dilke. But the benefactions of her life are partly too well known and partly too intimate to admit of notice here. Yet a word concerning our personal debt cannot be withheld. We shall miss sadly the various and frequent attention, the wise counsel, the active help and encouragement, which she bestowed on The Athenæum. All too unready are we to say "Ave atque Vale" to the scholar and friend. Our loss is overwhelming, irreparable, but her gracious memory will keep us from "the sin of the unlit lamp, and the ungirt loin." --The Athenæum

From the author of "Happy Holidays" and "Memorial Tales" comes another collection of seven strange and chilling tales including: - A ghoulish young man who takes an unhealthy interest in a shrine which marks the moment od death, - an extraordinary carnival with the oddest collection of attractions ever witnessed, - a little girl, scarred for life, who confides in a kindly old woman, but the old woman has a few secrets of her own, - a young lady who is the toast of the Hollywood Party circuit and whose autograph book reveals a sinister purpose, - a man who can travel in time, but finds himself engaging in some of history's less than wholesome chapters. Sit back, get comfy (but make sure the doors are locked and secure) and take in seven tales from the dark side of The Shrine and Other Stores.

Excerpt from The Shrine of Death, And, the Shrine of Love At the first, the saying of the witch fell like a stone in the girl's heart, but ere long her words, and the words which she had heard in the hour of her birth, filled all her thoughts, and when other girls jested or spoke of feasts and merriment, of happy love and all the joys of life, such talk seemed to her mere wind of idle tales, and the gossips who would have made a match for her schemed in vain, for she had but one desire, the desire to woo Death, and learn the secrets of life. Often now she would seek the ramparts in late evening, hoping that in the sha dows she might once more find the witch, and learn from her the way to her desire; but she found her not. Returning in the darkness, it so happened, after one of these fruitless journeys, that she passed un der the walls of an ancient church, and looking upat the windows, she saw the flickering of a low, un steady light upon the coloured panes, and she drew near to the door, and, seeing it ajar, she pushed it open and entered, and passing between the mighty columns of the nave, she stepped aside to the spot whence the light proceeded. Having done so, she found herself standing in front of a great tomb, in one side of which were brazen gates, and beyond the gates a long flight of marble steps leading down to a vast hall or chapel below; and above the gates, in a silver lamp, a light was burning, and as the chains by which the lamp was suspended moved slightly in the draught from the open door of the church, the light which burnt in it flickered, and all the shadows around shifted so that nothing seemed still, and this constant recurrence of change was like the dance of phantoms in the air. And the girl, seeing the blackness, thought of the corner on the ramparts where she had met the witch, and almost she expected to see her, and to hear her dog baying in the shadows. When she drew nearer, she found that the walls were loaded with sculpture, and the niches along the sides were filled with statues of the wise men of all time; but at the corners were four women whose heads were bowed, and whose hands were bound in chains. Then, looking at them as they sat thus, discrowned but majestic, the soul of the girl wasfilled with sorrow, and she fell weeping, and, clasp ing her hands in her grief, she cast her eyes to heaven. As she did so, the lamp swayed a little for wards, and its rays touched with light a figure seated on the top of the monument. When the girl caught sight of this figure she ceased weeping, and when she had withdrawn a step or two backwards, so as to get a fuller View, she fell upon her knees, and a gleam of wondrous expectation shone out of her face; for, on the top of the tomb, robed and crowned, sat the image of Death, and a great glad ness and awe filled her soul, for she thought, If I may but be found worthy to enter his portals, all the secrets of life will be mine. And laying her hands on the gates, she sought to open them, but they were locked, so after a little while she went sadly away Each day, from this time forth, when twilight fell, the girl returned to the church, and would there re main kneeling for many hours before the shrine of Death, nor could she by any means be drawn away from her purpose. Her mind was fixed on her de sire, so that she became insensible to all else; and the whole town mocked her, and her own people held her for mad. So then, at last, they took her be fore a priest, and the priest, when he had talked with her awhile, said, Let her have her way. Let her pass a night within the shrine; on the morrow it may be that her wits will have returned to her. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Late Victorian Gothic written by Hilary Grimes and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016-03-03 with Science categories.

Examining the automatic writing of the spiritualist séances, discursive technologies like the telegraph and the photograph, various genres and late nineteenth-century mental science, this book shows the failure of writers' attempts to use technology as a way of translating the supernatural at the fin de siècle. Hilary Grimes shows that both new technology and explorations into the ghostly aspects of the mind made agency problematic. When notions of agency are suspended, Grimes argues, authorship itself becomes uncanny. Grimes's study is distinct in both recognizing and crossing strict boundaries to suggest that Gothic literature itself resists categorization, not only between literary periods, but also between genres. Treating a wide range of authors - Henry James, Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, George Du Maurier, Vernon Lee, Mary Louisa Molesworth, Sarah Grand, and George Paston - Grimes shows how fin-de-siècle works negotiate themes associated with the Victorian and Modernist periods such as psychical research, mass marketing, and new technologies. With particular attention to texts that are not placed within the Gothic genre, but which nevertheless conceal Gothic themes, The Late Victorian Gothic demonstrates that the end of the nineteenth century produced a Gothicism specific to the period.
