"Supernatural Horror in Literature" -- Online Sources for Works Referenced

[j d worthington]

Well, it's going to take a while to get the whole thing (or what is available online) lined up, but I thought I might as well get this rolling. For those interested, here are the online sources I've been able to find (or, at least, the best or most comprehensive) for works referenced in Lovecraft's Supernatural Horror in Literature essay.

As I mentioned in the classic horror thread, I'll be putting these in here in the order they are discussed in his essay, rather than either alphabetically or chronologically; but as his is a historical survey, it does give a rather general historical perspective to the development of the field, albeit occasionally focusing on following such development in a particular region or set of themes before returning to the general overview.

As this is a work in progress, I would prefer any comments to be posted either in the classic horror thread or in the SHiL discussion thread (in the Lovecraft forum), at least until I have completed the listing here. This isn't because I'm not interested in feedback, but rather to simplify matters for those who wish to use this as a resource for tracking down various works. If the comments are few or nonexistent here, then it makes it much easier for someone to "follow along" with the list, rather than having to sort through pages of comments and/or replies.

There are ten chapters to the essay, and I'm skipping the introduction for reasons outlined elsewhere; leaving nine to cover -- some of these will be quite lengthy lists; others considerably shorter. There are also some writers or works which are simply either not available, or are only available illegally -- these will not, of course, be included. (Anyone tempted to fill in such gaps, please refrain from doing so, unless the source you find is legal.)

With the earlier works... most of these are ridiculously easy to find in print; but I've included sources for them anyway, simply to facilitate matters for anyone interested. When it comes to something like Goethe's Faust, or Spenser's Faerie Queene, however, I've given what sources I could find, but I won't guarantee the text is complete at any single one. (I've also not included other pieces by Spenser, as the bulk of his writing that could fit the subject description tends to be in that famous, if rather lengthy, work.)

I don't know how many (if any) will be at all interested in this older work, but I would recommend at least a few of these being read, as some of them are really very good (not to mention entertaining). Lacey Collison-Morley's Greek and Roman Ghost Stories, for instance, is a very entertaining collection of classical tales on the subject, while several of the poems of the supernatural remain genuinely eerie and powerful to this day.


I have also added (in the updates -- see below) some items which I had previously left out because they are not directly linked to actual weird tales; however, they have a close affinity to them (as Lovecraft pointed out) and were often quite influential. Such, for instance, would be The Book of Enoch and The Key of Solomon the King, in section I. And again, for those interested in looking at the essay itself and following the context given, here's the link to the Lovecraft Archive electronic version; the most textually accurate available, as far as I know:


http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/essays/shil.aspx

At any rate, I hope this provides some entertainment and pleasure for some of you, and very much look forward to your comments in the other threads.

(The list will begin with the next posting.)

(Note, added 12/08/13: I am in the process of attempting to update the links to this thread. Unfortunately, several sites to which I referred earlier no longer exist, or are currently unavailable, so I'm attempting to update the references. This may take some time, but I hope to have it done over the next few weeks.So far, all I have updated is the material through "The Weird Tradition in America".)


(Note, added 12/21/13: The updating is now complete. If anyone knows of any legitimate links I've missed, please let me know, and I'll make the necessary corrections.)

[j d worthington]

I appreciate the offer; where possible, yes; but I would also ask that you follow the listings in the order given by Lovecraft, if you wouldn't mind, chiefly for the purpose of maintaining that historical/thematic survey so much a part of the essay... which is part of what I hope to make more easily traceable in this thread....

Chapter V: The Aftermath of Gothic Fiction:

This one is a little more difficult, as some of these simply aren't available online, or not entirely... the opening piece being an example, as I could only find volume III of the thing. (No big loss, in my opinion. I've read the whole, and it's a dreadful farrago of nonsense. Some interesting passages -- most of them included in this volume, as I recall -- but overall not worth wasting too much time over.)

Wuthering Heights, by Emily Bronte:

http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/768

 

[Lobolover]

( I believe Zofloya; or, The Moor was on google books, but those are hard as you never know when they will be missing pages)

 

[j d worthington]

It was a "preview", which means it only allowed selected pages, rather than the entire novel, and was not permanent either, from my understanding. They also had a version of Vathek which included the Episodes (in their proper place, apparently), but it was the same arrangement -- a way to promote sales for that edition of the book....

I prefer posting linkt to the entire text, if possible; I made an exception for the Horrid Mysteries for the reasons stated, and chose only the sections of Smollett's novel which include the weird passages which influenced the Gothic, as the bulk of that novel is satirical (not to mention scatological) and might confuse people as to why it was even included... especially as the relevant passages are close to the end of a rather lengthy book of a quite different kind....

 

[Lobolover]

As for
Auriol; or, The Elixir of Life: while I discovered it throught the original site the list is taken from , it was not, when I double checked, mentioned in the revised version of the essay under the note concerning Ainsworth .

 

[j d worthington]

No; what HPL had to say was simply:

This era likewise saw the rise of William Harrison Ainsworth, whose romantic novels teem with the eerie and the gruesome.

However, the two novels listed are among the most representative of Ainsworth's work, hence good selections for those unfamiliar with the name. The same is true of several of the other writers from this section of the essay, where Lovecraft mentioned names but not specific works; I've tried to list those which are closer to the weird in nature, or at least contain enough weird elements or hints to fit the guidelines he laid down.

And, though I appreciate the feedback, again, I ask that, until the list is complete, any such be directed to the SHiL thread in the Lovecraft forum, or the Classic Horror threads, to avoid the problem I mentioned in my first post. Once the list is finished, any and all comments are welcome; but for now, it tends to make the listing too spread out for those interested in the sources (at least initially) rather than the discussion....

The Dybbuk, by "Ansky" (Shloyme-Zanvel Rappaport) (not found)

 

[Lobolover]

I can find the german version of Golem .

Meanwhile, the original version of two other wonderfull weird novels by Meyrink

Walpurgisnacht: Phantastischer Roman (1917)

Internet Archive: Free Download: Walpurgisnacht: Phantastischer Roman

Das Gruene Gesicht (1917)

Internet Archive: Free Download: Das grüne Gesicht; ein Roman

I sugest reading it in another format then full text, as the german becomes horrificaly disfigured .

I have the word versions of Golem and Green Face in german, but can't remember where I got it - if anyone wants I can try and send it along .

Chapter VII: Edgar Allan Poe:

With this chapter, I will not only include those pieces specifically mentioned by Lovecraft, but also ones which are either "tales (or poems) of terror" or fantastic, as well; this because of Poe's unique place in the field -- the same reason he alone won an entire chapter to himself in HPL's essay. I will also, contrary to most of these listings, take them in chronological order.

I begin with the poems, of which, though HPL didn't provide titles, he gave brief descriptions; those he specifically mentions will receive an asterisk, to aid those wishing to only read those mentioned in the essay. With some of these, the connection may seem slightly tenuous, but I have included them either because they are connected to later works in the field, or because their atmosphere is very much in the manner of the Gothic and Romantic terror tales. And, as we have such a site as the Poe Society of Baltimore (among others) which provide such scholarly aids as parallel texts, where possible I will link to their listing, which will allow interested readers to compare different versions.

Tales:

With his tales, I have resisted the temptation to include some of his more humorous fantastic tales; not because they aren't good -- some are very good -- but because of the emphasis of the piece itself. Such would include "Bon-Bon", "The Duc de l'Omelette", "Loss of Breath: A Tale Neither in nor out of Blackwood", "Some Words with a Mummy", and the like; here I have focused on his tales tending toward terror (though some of these were also intentionally parodic, such as "Metzengerstein", which parodies, in largely straightfaced fashion, the entire Gothic genre), though I have excluded the "tales of ratiocination", such as "The Gold Bug", "Murders in the Rue Morgue", etc. -- again because of emphasis; though they do exemplify the close relationship between the horror or terror tale and that of mystery or detection. I have, however, contrary to Lovecraft, also included tales of physical or psychological horror, as their focus was, again, to create terror and because some of these have had quite an influence on aspects of the field since, such as "The Tell-Tale Heart". Again, those specifically mentioned by Lovecraft receive an asterisk.

Chapter IX: The Weird Tradition in the British Isles:

Again, there are some things which are simply not available; sometimes they are still in copyright, while with others they simply haven't been put in electronically yet.
