Produktbeschreibung

In "A Second Coming," Richard Marsh artfully combines elements of gothic fiction and social commentary to explore themes of redemption, identity, and the spiritual revival of late Victorian society. The narrative unfolds through the lens of a returning messianic figure, weaving a rich tapestry of tension between the sublime and the grotesque. Marsh employs a dense, evocative prose style that captures the eerie atmosphere of the period, complemented by an undercurrent of existential inquiry, highlighting the complexities of societal values and human desires during a time of rapid change. Richard Marsh, an author often overshadowed by his contemporaries, worked in various fields including journalism and drama, contributing to his nuanced understanding of societal dynamics. His life experiences, including personal loss and a keen observation of the shifting cultural landscape of his time, informed the innovative narrative style of "A Second Coming." In this work, Marsh challenges traditional religious notions, reflecting a modern existential crisis that resonates with his own tumultuous historical context. "A Second Coming" is a compelling read for those interested in the intersection of faith, identity, and societal critique. Marsh's exploration of the human condition invites readers to reflect on their own beliefs and the broader implications of redemption in a rapidly evolving world. As such, this novel deserves a place in the canon of Victorian literature, offering profound insights into the perennial quest for meaning.

Autorenporträt

Richard Marsh, a pseudonym used by English author Richard Bernard Heldmann, was born on October 12, 1857, and died on August 9, 1915. Author of numerous best-selling books during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Marsh is most known today for his supernatural thriller The Beetle, which came out the same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) and was initially sold six times more than the latter book. The Beetle was published until 1960. In addition to writing many short tales, Marsh authored about 80 volumes of fiction in the horror, crime, romance, and humor genres. Starting with The Beetle in 2004, many of these have been reissued in the last few years. Robert Aickman was a well-known author of short "strange stories" and the grandson of Marsh. On October 12, 1857, Richard Bernard Heldmann was born in North London, the son of lace manufacturer Emma Marsh (1830-1911) and trader Joseph Heldmann (1827-96). In 1880, Heldmann started releasing fiction in the style of adventure and boys' school tales for magazine publications. The most significant of these was Union Jack, a prestigious weekly journal for boys published in association with writers W.H.G. Kingston (1814-80) and G. A. Henty (1832-1902).
