The Lost Stradivarius

Volume 63

Beschreibung

One of the best examples of cursed-antique literature, which would influence M. R. James and his Cambridge set along with many writers of the early-twentieth century periodicals and pulp magazines. Told in an impressively timeless-feeling epistolary form as the tale wends from coming-of-age tale towards occult, pagan weirdness.

Autor

John Meade Falkner (1858-1932) was an English novelist, poet and businessman, best known for his legendary smuggling novel Moonfleet (1898), one of only three novels he wrote alongside The Lost Stradivarius and The Nebuly Coat. A polymath with fascination for the arcane and antiquarian, Falkner became a prominent rare book collector. Alongside his fiction, he authored a number of regional guidebooks, including a Handbook for Travellers in Oxfordshire (1894).
